[QUOTE="mach1, post: 869108, member: 20233"] Standard procedure is to torque dry. I can think of only a few things needing lubed torque and when it's required it's always stated in the manual (aircraft applications). To be safe, always use the book. Also, a quick and dirty check of wrench cal is to grab a barbell weight (25, 35 lbs etc.), and suspend it from your wrench 1 foot from the socket. Clamp a bolt in a vise, put a nut on it and let the weight apply the torque. Since the weight is 1 foot from the socket, this gives you 25, (35 ft lbs etc.). If your wrench is shorter, just measure the distance between the socket and where you hang the weight and use that to calculate the torque,( at 6in the torque will be half the weight, at 8in it will be 2/3 weight etc.) [/QUOTE]
