Torque ADAPTOR Compensation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sierra and 2003 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Ensure that HPL Crowsfoot - 2.5" (J 43602) removal tool is straight (0 degrees) on the torque wrench.

You must compensate for the torque wrench and the HPL Crowsfoot. To obtain your dial reading perform the following procedure: Multiply your torque wrench length in inches by 225 ft. lbs. (305 N.m). Example for an 18" torque wrench: 18 X 225 = 4050. Add 3 to the length of your torque wrench. 18 + 3 = 21. Divide the first value obtained by the second value obtained. The result indicates the amount of torque your wrench should tighten the HPL solenoid to 4050 divided by 21 = 192.8. For an 18" long torque wrench, tighten the HPL solenoid to 192.8 ft. lbs. (261.4 N.m).
