This Spinner Tool works great! Leather Wrapped

What is the proper torque for a spinner?

Based on my experience removing these guys, you better have a very long breaker bar. I will say though, if I had one in the garage I would probably use it.

I have not found torque specs for Cobra spinners, but the guy invested the tool said Lotus, in an old manual, recommeded 220 ft/lbs. That's about the only source I have heard quoted. I am not sure why it would be different for Halibrand knockoffs, but I wouldn't make a recommendation.

Now I don't know (and I use a lead hammer), but 220 ft/lbs sounds like a whole lot to me. Having torqued my crank bolt down to about 110 ft/lbs this summer, I think 220 would be a real b****.
