Hi. I need to tighten a Driveshaft nut to 300Nm which is beyond my Torque wrench. I propose using a lever and my body weight but am unsure of the calculations. I think it is :
Weight = 94KG = 940N (I believe 1Kg mass has a 10N weight at 1g (gravity)? )
So to achieve 300Nm: Distance = Target Torque / Force So: Distance = 300Nm / 940N = 0.32 ( 32cm from centre of Nut to where my body weight it applied)
Is this calculation correct ? Thank you, Steve
