I need to do the IRD driveshaft oil seal on my Td4. I only have a torque wrench that goes up to 210Nm, but that's nowhere near the prescribed 400Nm. I'm not paying £100+ for a large torque wrench I may use once in a blue moon either.
Now, being a good boy, I intend to replace the hub nut so I can't just tighten the old nut up to where the staking meets the notch on the driveshaft and knock it back down. Does anyone happen to know what the angle of turn would be after I get the new nut done up to 210Nm? I have an angle gauge, so surely it's just a simple case of using a breaker bar plus the gauge and going x degrees further clockwise.
Anyone know how much is x in this case though?
Is there any way to work it out?
I failed my A level maths 20-odd years ago as I simply could not grasp the applied section. Wish I'd studied harder now...
