TORQUE WRENCH SOCKET

Torque wrench socket - Mechanic tool set - Drill buffing attachment.

A torque wrench is a tool used to precisely apply a specific torque to a fastener such as a nut or bolt. It is usually in the form of a socket wrench with special internal mechanisms. It was invented by Conrad Bahr in 1918 while working for the New York City Water Department.

A tool for setting and adjusting the tightness of nuts and bolts to a desired value

a wrench that has a gauge that indicates the amount of torque being applied

A manual wrench which incorporates a gauge or other method to indicate the amount of torque transferred to the nut or bolt.

a bony hollow into which a structure fits

receptacle where something (a pipe or probe or end of a bone) is inserted

a receptacle into which an electric device can be inserted

Place in or fit with a socket

Hindsight is a wonderful thing...

Can't get a socket on the bolt as the anti roll bar is in the way. A socket on the nut is very tight because the aluminium body panel is against it. Can't get a long socket on as the spring / damper is in the way. Can't get the torque wrench fully into a short socket as the panel cutout is the wrong shape... Now, if I had not put the anti roll bar on but fitted the engine then lowered the car onto its wheels I could have put a socket and torque wrench on the bolt... There was no way I was going to drain the cooling system, remove the radiator and remove the anti roll bar just to make this easier.

Hmm - how do I torque that?...

My sockets are too long to fit onto the top ball joint nut so I can't torque the nut. I'll see if I can borrow a shorter socket or get Caterham to do it at the pre-SVA check.
