Â*Â* Bite the bullet John , Clare nailed it . Torque wrenches are NOT
designed to loosen fasteners . Why do you think they call them "BREAKER"
bars ?


I'm not arguing withÂ* ClareÂ* orÂ* DeWaltÂ* ...Â* exceptÂ* -

Â* The clutch basket nut on my (RIP Bag Lady) now deceased 1976
Shovelhead Harley was a left hand thread that required a 45-55 LB/ft
torques . Is that a good enough example ? You certainly didn't want to
overtorque , it would crackÂ* the clutch hub - taper fit with a key to
locate .

Didn't the older Chrysler products have left hand threaded lug
bolts on the driver's
side?
