Torqueing the FW Nut
I don't know about you but my torque wrench doesn't go anywhere near 260 pounds. What do you do? Can you just set your impact wrench on high and go? Herb

its supposed to do that
I use a 4ft wrench, and just put my weight on it. I know its not the most precise instrument, but over 350k combined miles none of them have loosened yet.

Yeah, shutup kid.
I always just put on a drop of blue loctite and hit it with my best 1/2 impact(not that great of one, I'm a cheapass FB owner afterall...probably 300ft/lbs), never had a problem. The first time I did it I borrowed a 4' torque wrench from the machine shop and set it to 350, either way works fine.
