Crows foot adapter to torque to proper spec?

[1 Patriot-of-many]

Where do I get a crows foot adapter to torque the inner torque rod ends you cannot get a socket and wrench on?

There is a thread on home made tools here as well... I'll post it if I find it before you do.

I use a Mac 6pt impact. Fits right in the hole.

If you do use the crow's foot with the torque wrench, you will need to covert your torque spec. The crow's foot makes the torque wrench's reading inaccurate. By using this following formula, your reading will be accurate.

What hole? Talking about the torque rod ends on top of the axles.

I don't weld, so it has to be tool available to the public.

By the way 1POM, you can find that crow's foot at any Sears store. Maybe Home Dumpo or Blows, but then again it might be too specialized for them to carry.

If you use the crow's foot at a 90 degree angle to the wrench, there is no length added and no calculation required.

All these places are on drugs. I need two sizes 1 1/16 and 1 1/2, not going to pay hundreds of dollars for a couple little tools I'll use once. ERRRRRR

Where have you priced them? Maybe a trip by harbor frieght for a tool you probably not use again for years.

Estimate the torque, an exact figure isn't required.

Really? Then why do manufacturers provide a torque spec? Maybe some folks like to do things correctly and by the book.
