Need help guys the highest torque wrench autozone has is 150ft/lb....... where do you guys get your torque wrench to re-torque the rear axle nut? i'm just afraid the clicking sound will run my wheel bearing and hub sooner or later ( even afraid to join HPDE)

thanks a lot

p/s:any tips on how to take out the axle nut ? should i sit the car down with the tires on the ground or jacked up with the transmission in gear?

 

Try Sears.

 

ok , any tips on putting the car on the ground or jacked up with gears in?

 

i had the EXACT same question as the OP...

i got the thing fixed by Honda but now it's back and even worse!

 

are u serious? why worse? dang mine is coming once in 2 weeks or so........ means it will be worse if i re-torque it?

 

hit it with an impact gun for a 3-4 sec.

 

Impact gun works fine. as long as it's strong enough.

 

not exact sure what you mean.

there's impact gun that doesnt 100-1000 lb/ft
depends on the PSI

don't get it on superman tight tho

 

yea, i understand what you're saying.

If a gun say's 100 ft-lbs forward, that doesn't mean the nut/bolt is tightened to a 100 ft-lbs. usually a lot less. My experience at least.

 

I hit it with a impact gun until it stops spinning and a quick 2-3 hits after that to be sure but thats me
