Pro Mechanic Instructions (Torque Wrench Calibration): Achieving the correct factory torque is critical for suspension performance. When using this tool with a 1/2" torque wrench, please apply the following rules:
-
-
Inline Setup (Straight): If the torque wrench is attached on the same axis as the tool's handle (with up to a 3° deviation), you must apply a 0.94 coefficient to your target torque value to prevent over-tightening.
-
Perpendicular Setup (90° Angle): If the torque wrench is attached at a 90-degree angle to the tool's handle, no correction is required (apply the exact standard torque specification).
