OK, guys. I've looked for the actual torque on this bolt and have found so
far...

 

330 ft-lbs at the bolt

450 ft-lbs at the bolt

400 ft-lbs at the bolt

258 ft-lbs at the end of the 2079 tool

 

Of course Bentley says use the 2079 tool but they don't say how long the
torque wrench is which is a variable one must know in order to get the
setting right.

 

The center to center length of the 2079 is 12 inches. If the length of the
torque wrench is "L" and the torque setting on the wrench is "T" then the
torque delivered to the end of the 2079 tool is: T * ((12+L)/L). This
assumes the 2079 and torque wrench are in line, otherwise we have to apply a
sin function. So I'm missing one more variable, either the actual torque I
need or the length of the torque wrench that Bentley describes. Picture
17-223 in the Bentley shows that clearly the torque wrench is longer than
the 2079 but then the bar goes outside the picture frame.

 

So, anybody have the actual torque for this bolt?
