torque dude is a knockoff of the original torquemeister tool http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/ ... ?id=271506 I don't have one, I beat on the $15 tool but I don't build motors either... |

Yeah, I have one of these. that's what I used to get the axle nuts off in the first place...that and a rubber mallet. Probably need to invest in a mallet with a metal head since I beat the rubber one to nothing... And wow! the "Torque dude" ($80 on thesamba) is the same price as the torque wrench I was looking at! http://www.sears.com/craftsman-1-2-in-dr-digi-click-torque-wrench/p-00913919000P?prdNo=3&blockNo=3&blockType=G3 might as well just get the bigger 250 ft lb wrench I guess. |

I would highly recommend the torque multiplier, much easier to apply 25-30 lb-ft of torque rather than 250. |

Oh ok, that tool didnt make since to me at first because i thought it was only for gland nuts. I see it comes with the adapter for the drums. With its ability to multiply by 9, i guess i can go with a lower scale 20-100 torque wrench or something to that effect. Thanks for that link |

You'll easily be able to torque and remove any gland nut or axle nut with a 3/8" hand tool. Worth the investment, IMO. |
