How to tighten cylinder nut

[Noobi06]

Do you mean I can fit a 1/2" 12mm socket in there? In that case I can actually torque it. I can go buy one but I doubt 1/2" will fit

Most of us are talking from a 250 or 300 owner ship. Not many will have had a 125 so please temper our advice with that in mind..

[5valve]

Buy a 12 spanner, with both open end and ring end and make a special tool out of it.

Grind the outer ring thinner so it can fit on the nut.

Grind the open end of the spanner a bit wider, rougly to 12.7-13mm, so it can fit snugly on the 1/2" square socket attachment on the torque wrench.

Go to playstore and download TORQUE WRENCH EXTENSION CALCULATOR

attach spanner to wrench so they form a straight line

Measure and input two lengths desired by program (metric, imperial doesnt matter)

Input desired torque value for the nut (metric, imperial, doesnt matter)

Program will calculate new value for torque setting of the wrench, since extended wrench needs to apply less torque, but the actual torque on the nut will be correct

Never fully torque one side only, just because you can. Sth can break, bend, misshape..

The 200, 250 and 300s front two bolts are more difficult to reach than the 125.

The 125 bolts can be reached with a 12mm wrench with a small / thinned head.

Im gonna try 5valves idea first. If im unable to do that, im gonna do like zman said and get a feel for the torque and then just apply it manually.
Thanks guys

I tried 5valves technique and it worked really well! Thank you a lot.
I sanded down the outer ring of a 12mm wrench, and a bit of the inside on the open end. I put the open end on a socket and onto the torque wrench and the other end onto the cylinder nut. It fit perfectly as I sanded it down.
I then used the app as you said. With the extended wrench, I was supposed to use 17nm instead of 25, but as mine only supports 20 I used 20 but left some torque.
Thank you guys!

Glad to hear it worked out for you!

Hope that wasn't dad's good wrench. Grind off the 12mm mark on the open side and punch in GG!

Just go to this link and scroll down to post 15. Just set the two wrenches at 90 degrees.
