Geoff Weeks Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I've done my share of diff work, I have the torque multiplier for a reason. I worked one place that had to re-torque the rotex bearing on equipment yearly. They had either a 1" or 3/4" torque wrench ( 40 some odd years ago, I don't remember which it was) and there was barely room to swing it in the service bay with the machine in there. Torque multiplier is dead easy: put on the nut/bolt to be tightened and install a short reaction bar to someplace solid on what you are working on, dial the 1/2" torque wrench to the correct input torque and start ratcheting away until the torque wrench clicks. In most cases a one man job. works great on trucks, there is always the frame to act against. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/76361-pinion-seal-replace/page/2/#findComment-590279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
