[QUOTE="Imack, post: 1116144, member: 69296"] [b]I know exactly what the problem is...![/b] The way how to resolve this in a simple way is applying the principles of torque. If you use a lever 1 foot long and apply 10 pounds to the end, you'll be able to apply a 10 ft-lbs torque. So in the same way, if the lever (wrench) is 6" long a force of 20 lbs at the end will be equivalent to 10 ft-lbs. The formula is lenght x force. Ok when I find these difficult to reach cyclinder nuts, I take my 12 mm wrench, about 8 inches long, take my fish weighting scale, and hook the scale to the end of the wrench, holding always the force perpendicular to the wrench. If these bolts take 20 ft-lbs, then I find the force to apply this way. 8"/12"=.75 20/.75=26.6 So, you apply 26.6 lbs of force at the end of the wrench and you'll have 20 ft-lbs. Or, you can put the wrench inside a pipe and make the length 1 ft, then appply 20 lbs at the end.. Easy man...! [/QUOTE]
