9 inch lbs = 7 ft lbs?
huh?

 

80 in/lbs +- (plus/minus - the allowable variance) 9 in/lbs converts to around 7 ft/lbs.

80/12 = 6.66 ft/lbs, with a +- (allowable variance) of 9 in/lbs (.75 ft/lbs). So, 7 ft/lbs.

 

ill change my avatar to a dunce cap soon, i promise.
so in order to get 9in/lbs i need to get 7ft/lbs?

 

I should be the one wearing the dunce cap but I'm coming up with 9in/lbs = .75 ft/lbs.

 

thats what i thought it should be!!!!
IM SO NOT WEARING THAT CAP!

 

You guys are reading it wrong. I typed 80 in/lbs with a variance (+-) of 9 in/lbs.

 

but what marking do i need to get to on the TW?

 

9/12=.75 sounds good to me.

 

*bangs head on desk repeatedly*

Ugh!!

 

7 ft lbs.

I'll try one more time before I give up. You're trying to get 80 in lbs, which is 6.666 ft/lbs. There's an allowable variance (that means, you can torque that much above/below the target) of 9 in/lbs which converts to .75 ft/lbs. Take those two numbers and round to the nearest convenient number, and you get 7 ft/lbs.

Another way to explain variance. 80 in/lbs +- 9 in/lbs means that you must torque to a minimum of 71 in/lbs and a maximum of 89 in/lbs.

 

math > otter?
stay tuned...

 

No, typical torque specs > all of you.

 

HAHAHA! Joho22, seriously, set your torque wrench to 7ft lbs. This is what u want.

 

evom > joho22

ill take whatever otter says anyway...

otter im sorry i ever doubted your,
can you ever forgive me?

 

80+- 9 in/lbs = 5.9166666 to 7.4166666

Just get the fricken thing tight. Do you think anybody at the factory or dealership or anywhere else uses a tourqe wrench on a 10mm nut?
