Achieving 406 ft/lbs on lower shock nut

[BGA23]

Think I have a place not too far who rents torque multipliers, at least their Website says they do. Think I'll try and go this route.

This is the route I took. Have had it for 2 years with no problems.

Mountain 3/4" Drive 100 600 ft/lbs. Torque Wrench (MTN16600) Category: Torque Wrenches - - Amazon.com

Could just get a big torque wrench like we have a our shop.

I've used the 6' torque wrench that RPG has. It's nice! Super easy to use. Just need lots of space.

And when you torque that lower shock bolt to specs, you should torque the nut and not the bolt itself. The nut has a captured washer that allows the nut to turn. The bolt does not have that washer should stay stationary during the process.

Does using an air ratchet on the bolts get you in the ballpark?

Depends on the gun

i have never seen an air ratchet get close to those specs. but if you are talking about an impact driver, then yes, some will get you close

Just use the same wrench my dealer did when it rotated the tires causing the disc to warp at 19k miles. Last time I had them do that, or anything, out of convenience.

Bumping up this thread to see opinions on two setups I'm thinking about to do steering rack bolts and eventually the LCA bolts.

Option 1
-3/4" digital torque adapter

-3/4" breaker (38")
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OXUPHTW/?tag=fordraptorforum-20


Option 2
-3/4" digital torque adapter
-torque multiplier

I like the versatility of the multiplier, though cheap, with tools already in possession.

Thoughts?
