Torque specs for pin drives

[redmt]

I'm thinking about making a knock off adapter for tightening pin drive wheels. Instead of beating the snot out of the knock off spinners , I thought it might be better to be able to get a more accurate torque value for the wheels. Anybody have a torque spec?

There was a post here last week? on a very nice tool available @ a reasonable price.
Have a look & I don't think you'll bother making one for that price.

I must have missed it. Can you post the link for it please. I'm not finding it in a basic search.

Thanks,

John, you have to use the advanced "secret search." Had you done that you would have found it here: This Spinner Tool works great! Leather Wrapped

I guess I didn't have the search subject close enough. I'm still curious as to a torque spec though.

I went back and read the whole thread. I still don't see a definite spec for the spinner. Seems that 65 to 200 is the magic number. I wouldn't think that 100-140 would be too far out of a reliable range?

Thanks,

It's about 12527 ft lbs. That's why we use a hammer instead. Besides, you dont want to have to buy a 3/4" torque wrench.

I can use a 1" to 3/4" adapter and use my big torque wrench. my 3/4 only goes to 750.

Torque our nuts to 400#lbs.......usually takes about 600#lbs to break them loose....

Use a 3/4” torque wrench.....
