And the biggest and best friend that you can have, if you’re going to do any work on your car, is a torque wrench.Īnd if you have a question or comment, drop me a line, right here at MotorWeek.2017 Use new nut. So remember that most everything on an automobile has a specified amount of torque. So it helps make you a better technician. So that means that when you’re taking something loose, if it binds up, it doesn’t break the bolt like a two or three hundred ft-lbs torque ratchet would do. And its claim to fame is that it’s limited to 65 ft-lbs of torque. Now, ACDelco has reversed this trend to more powerful and more powerful tools…this is an air ratchet. So that’s four times the amount of torque that is needed for the wheels, and most other things on an automobile. Now, these are up to over 400 ft-lbs of torque in some cases. Now a lot of people thought that when these electric impact wrenches came out, that that was going to be the answer. They should be used on just about everything, on every repair. Torque wrenches limit what torque goes on to the bolts. Now, what’s the proper way? The proper way is to use a torque wrench. So you’re stranded because you can’t get the wheel off with the flat tire on it. Well the tools that are in the car, or the tools that you might have even put in the car are not going to be capable of loosening those lug nuts. Not only that, but suppose you have a flat tire, and you’ve got one that’s tightened down to five or six hundred ft-lbs of torque. Now that’s a problem because it almost guarantees warped brake rotors. And when you look at that, and realize that the average torque required on a lug nut, to hold the wheel on, is 80 to 90 ft-lbs, well you can imagine how over-tightened some of these lug nuts are. Well today, some of these are 12 or 13 hundred ft-lbs, and the average is eight to nine hundred ft-lbs of torque. Back in the day, many many years ago, if they produced 150 ft-lbs, it was a powerful wrench. You see, these air impact wrenches have grown in power over the years.
