Torque Multiplication Conversion
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford RV Cutaway, 2004 Ford Econoline, 2004 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2004 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Record the torque value to be obtained as A.
- Measure the distance from the center of the torque wrench handgrip to the center of the torque wrench drive. Record this measurement as B.
- Measure the distance from the center of the torque wrench adapter opening to the center of the torque wrench adapter drive. Record this measurement as C.
- Example: multiply the torque value to be obtained A (120) by the length of the torque wrench B (12). Add the length of the torque wrench adapter C (2) to the length of the torque wrench B (12). Divide the product of A x B (1440) by the sum of B + C (14) to obtain the torque multiplication conversion D (103).
NOTE:
When using a torque wrench adapter, the distance from the torque wrench drive to the adapter drive changes the actual torque value. Apply the following formula (A x B / B + C = D) to obtain the correct torque value.
