The adapter that RN and others sell cannot be used with a torque wrench. (The flared piece of pipe with the drive hole in the side of the pipe)
In order to use a torque wrench, you need a conventional socket that will fit the square drive on your torque wrench.
I bought the adapter, it works great for removing and even reinstalling except that it will not fit a torque wrench, so with it, it is a wild *** guess as to what final torque you achieve. So get yourself a socket.
Can you order one thru Harbor Freight since you work there?

I found my socket, it was in my oil pan (dunno how it got there) and it is a 1/2 drive so I could use my torque wrench. I recessed the inner seals to 4-5mm, the ones I put in last job were DEMOLISHED! I had to use the extra two I had (for the rear). Guess I'll order two more. Oh yeah and while the wheels were off I painted them. Pics tmr!

Haha thanks, I just try to do it step by step and explain it like I would to a dummy (myself). Pics help a lot too! And no I didn't. I tried something new, I just washed my wheels (no sanding or prime) and used the plastic-dip spray paint. You can get it at lowes or home depot for like $5.49/can and I used one can for the front two wheels (3 coats each wheel). I'll post pics later today, I'm at school haha. Looks really good though!
