I'm glad you asked that question. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
Now I have a reason not to work on the car or work on the house. I can sit
here and pontificate.

To show you how serious I am, I'm sending you an attached spreadsheet what
will figure it all out for you.
Arent you happy now?!!

I needed some torque numbers when I was replacing the fuel injection
inserts. A normal socket would not fit and I needed to use a crowfoot
adapter attached to the torque wrench. So, I worked up the spreadsheet.

Sorry, I cant help myself here . . .:-)

These are the formulas for figuring out the torque for various scenarios.
M1 = M2 x L1 / L2
M2 = M1/(L1/L2) = M1*L2/L1
Where:
M1 is the torque setting of the wrench.
M2 is the actual torque applied to the nut
L1 is the normal length of the wrench
L2 is the extended length of the wrench

Are you getting a headache yet? Yes? Tooo bad!

Ask and Ye shall receive.
