Torque Wrench Needed by Stylz69(m): 2:33pm On Apr 26, 2015
I read that uneven tightening of wheel nuts could cause my rotors to warp. They are currently warped and I have ordered a new set of rotors and want to be sure that the wheel nuts are tightened correctly. Can anyone source a torque wrench and the necessary adaptors and give me a quote.

Brand new torque wrench 25k. 19,17, 22. Sockets 1k each.


I don't see the point in buying a torque wrench if its just for bolting and unbolting wheels.

Totally agree.
You got to be doing some serious DIY to bother with that.
I borrow when I need one.
Anyways, I have spotted some good wrenches at Ladipo parts market a couple of times, and their prices wont run into 5 figures.

How do these torque wrenches work? How do you convert torque numbers to number of turns of the bolts and nuts?
