Is it Christmas yet?

Did the Fat man show up yet?

Where are my presents?

Is anybody else up?

What the heck is going on here?

No.

I am still in my chair.

Gotta ask Alexa that.

No.

Same ****, different day.

Yep, in this case- was just a grade 8 coarse threaded plow bolt,that holds a blade on dozier....450’ish ft# :ugh2:

Good Christmas eve morning friends!:tiphat:

I think the lug nuts on my motorhome get torqued to 600 ftlbs. That's what the shop said when i got new tires on it last year.

We use multipliers like Rusty said on some bolts in our sheet pile driver. They have a spec of around 1200ft/lb.

They also make hydraulic torque wrenches that run off a power pack for very large fastenters

Merry Christmas Eve everyone :hello: :xmas3:

Heading out to pick up Gran on my way down to Galveston for a couple of days. Everyone have a wonderful holiday! :tiphat:

We had a few big nuts and bolts on the oil pumps we machined.

HyTorque. We had one of the heads explode on us. Forced a world wide recall. :eek:

Disappointing.. I had a wonderful vision of a BFTW, one that God would use to tighten an axis nut for the Earth.

Happy Hannukah, 'itches!

:tup:

Let me know when you start playing around with 6" and bigger diameter bolts, nuts, and studs. Where you measure torque in the stretch of the stud. Measure the length. Heat it up. Measure again. Keep heating unit you get the length you want. Then screw the nut down.

Another one was to use a stud heater to heat the stud up after you had screwed the nut down tight. Then once the stud grew in length from the heat. You turned the nut down again. Counting the number of flats on the nut you turned. If you couldn't turn the number of flats needed. You kept heating the stud up until you could.

They’re over torquing them, newest specs on the M22x1.5 studs w/the nuts that have swivvlers washers behind them are a couple drops of 30wt. oil on threads & on nut@washer - then torque to 500#
Older books say 450-550, some said 450-500 :ugh2:
I still use my 1” Ingersoll Rand, fed by a small 1/2” line w/120 psi & do my thing.....just been doing it too long :wtf2:

How Tight is errbody else’s nut’s :icon17: :rofl2:

Hmmmmm. Now I have to check with them.

On this thread? Either waaaaay too tight or loose as ****.

:tup:

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

you cant...:shakes head:

:facepalm:

:ugh:

I gotta shop for a transmission jack; got 2-people going in on a purchase for me :tup:

So many to choose from; hate to have them drop a dime on a Snap-On one...though that’s my flavor
:happydance:

This one would probably do the job :tup:

Drove in to work this morning and State Troopers were everywhere. WTH Good thing I was just putting along in the truck.

LOL, You need to finish your garage and get a lift installed first. Getting the cart before the horse again aren't ya.

Hey,
when someone else is buying it for you...why not :iagree:

That's one "Huge-Turbo" :eek::eek::eek:

On my 2011 Base; my torque spec was 140ft# :icon14:

Going for a tranny jack, huh? I didn't see that one coming.

Yeah, I see several in that first picture. One of them looks suspiciously like you :icon08: :p

Merry Merry you bunch of clowns! Today the party and celebration goes into high gear as my family will all be here this afternoon.
