<VV> Re:e: Wheel stud torque\torque wrench

[ronchoy@comcast.net]

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
