Torque Wrench Extension
Maybe I missed something on this torque wrench extension tool but FWIW the
extension allows you to use a smaller torque wrench to get the 258 ft lbs at
the nut. e.g. If the extension is the same length as the torque wrench you
only need to torque to an indicated 129 ft lbs to get 258 at the nut.
Torgue at nut = (indicated torque)*(total length (center of nut to
torque wrench handle pivot))/(torque wrench length (center of attachment to
center of handle pivot)).
