[Motocrossguy17]

Hi guys wondering what you use to torque the cylinder down? i was looking at a torque spanner set on ebay but they only sell 17mm to 22mm and its no good with cylinder being 12mm. just wondering as i can't get in with a socket..

Tighten it till you feel its good enough. Re-tighten after first ride.

Motion Pro adapter wrench for torque wrench is the only way to go.... cheap tool, do it right the first time.

I just tighten til i feel my elbow click! J/K!!

 

[007blaster]

Crank the left front and rear right as tight as possible and the other two finger tight warpping is good!

I bought me a set of craftmen flat wrench adapters for the head. Works well.

I use the "swag" method

Sicientific
Wild
AS$
Guess.

I "practice" on a socket accessable nut, then see what it "feels" like with a wrench.B)

Also I do have a click wrench, 3/8 drive.

Mac tools sell a wrench you can hook up to your torque wrench. Or just buy a 12mm wrench and weld a socket to it so you can tighten it up that way.

i would not advise this if you are not familiar with working on stuff, actually i wouldint advise it at all, 25 dollar torque wrench is cheaper than pulling a stud out of the head or stripping a hole

 

[mac_44_2010]

Hey harbor fright stuff is alright yea its cheap but I mean you can have snap on mac cornwell matco recaliberate it so its more acurate lol

 

[Racer51]

yea it's one of those tools where if you only need it once it's worth it. My dad buys all snapons for work and there like cadalac nice it buzzes in your hand when your at the right spot of tightness.

If you really are brave you can just tighten until snug because that's how tight the toure specs want theam

Hey guys please lay off this crap, torques settings are very important and should be ahered to.

Please keep your backyard experiences and hillbilly methods to yourselves and leave the Pros to offer the correct method of wrenching.

Harbor freight's Pittsburg wrenches are nice. I have one in every size, only problem is their 1/4 wrenches are in inches per pounds and not foot per pounds.

 

[Racer51]

yea I know I cant stand it how they still havet changed it every time walk in

 

[mud runner]

walmart also sells tourk wrenches
