Good thing you have a small impact. I wonder how that would work with my
3/4". Some how I dout that bolt will take 750ft lbs.
What about the flywheel or clutch cover bolts? CV joint bolts?
Here at work I maintian 60 foot tall stacker cranes, (automated warehouse).
Fastner failures were common. I then went to learn about threaded fastners.
A demonstation I will never forget is testing fastners on a Skidmore tension
tester. I learned the importance of proper preparation, (clean, lube, not to
lube, and the effects of thread lockers), proper torque and why some
fastners are torque to yeild and why some are torque to some low value and
turned an additional number of turns, and why most nuts should never be
reused. I was really surprised that by feel, I was not abe to get a nut and
bolt to the same tension repeatedly. I also learned why fastners should
never be run home by an impact wrench. Back in 94 we repalced all the
structural fasnerts on our stackers and have not had a failure yet. I am
convinced at the value of the right fastner, properly installed on anything
that matters.
