Tighten the HPL as specified below.
Tighten
Tighten the HPL to a nominal torque of 305 N.m (225 lb ft) at 0 degree. Refer to the formula below for compensation of your torque wrench.
Important:
Ensure the J 43602 HPL Crowfoot removal tool is straight (0 degree) on the torque wrench.
To obtain your Dial reading, perform the following steps:
11.1. Multiply your torque wrench length in inches by 305 (225)(1).
11.2. Add three to the length of your torque wrench(2).
11.3. Divide the first value(1) obtained by the second value(2) obtained. The result(3) will indicate the amount of torque your wrench should
tighten the HPL to.
For example if your wrench were 18 inches long:
18 X 305 = 5490(1)
18 + 3 = 21(2)
5490(1) divided by 21(2) = 261(3)
You would tighten the HPL to 261 N.m (192 lb ft).
