[bob mccrum]

a simpler, more exact way to reset your torque wrench, is to look in yellow
pages or online for metrology, which is the setting of tools.  most cities
have some doing this, or look a larger machine shop or fabrication shop.
they set their own tools all the time. bob mc

> I've had a clicker torque wrench lately used only for wheel studs. The
adjusters gone loose, so it's far out of calibration.   Since i now use it
only for wheel studs, I'd like to set it at say, 60 lbft. I do have a
working beam style torque wrench. Could i come fairly close if I used the
beam style wrench to torque a wheelnut to 60lbft, then progressively
adjusted the beam wrench until I moved the nut?  -ron 65,66
