The anode is supposed to be torqued to about 7 ft/lbs -- my torque wrench does not even work at that low of a setting -- is there a math trick for figuring this out manually? Like a two foot wrench with a 3.5 lb weight hanging on the end of it, or something like that?
I did pay attention in physics class.. Turns out you did as well
yes, there is, and yes, that is it. Feel smarter now?
3.5 pounds at 2 feet, 7 pounds at one foot
use a fish scale to pull the wrench
NOTE: you want to use that scale with the wrench at the top or bottom of the arc,, if you have the wrench off to the right or left then the weight of the wrench has to be factored in.
