markhansenconquest Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) Rebuilding turbo, how tight to tighten inducer wheel nut ,only have foot pound torque wrench ? Can it be converted or do i half to go rent one for inch pounds ?thanks for all replys !!!!!!!!( have red lock tight)also when it's all together should to free-wheel or just be snug when turning? You were right indiana it did need a rebuild !!! I didn't know they were floating bearings i though they would be a slip fit.0D of bearing was .613 old. New is .6155 ID is.354 old. New is .353 so that is .0035 where on bearing SURFACES and worn .010 in thrust plate which makes a big difference in how much shaft play you get.(DON'T HAVE METRIC MIC'S) Edited November 16, 2011 by markhansenconquest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holeysocks Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) I would not use red lock tight,it requires about 450 degrees to take it apart ,I think blue would be a better choice Edited November 16, 2011 by holeysocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) 8.3 ft lbs = 100 in lbs but your torque wrench wont be very accurate at 8.3 ft lbs unless it is digital Edited November 16, 2011 by RobH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchi934 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 how many inches are in a foot? you just multiply foot*lbs by 12 to get inch pounds, or divide inch pounds by 12 to get foot lbs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoCam360 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 We better do the math just to be sure Answer: 100 inch lbs DIV 12 inch/ft = 8.3ft lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metric-man Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 The key to removing or replacing a shaft nut is using a T handel wrench as so equal pressure is applied . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 You can get a 3/8" torque wrench at Sears and it will be for inch pounds or an auto parts store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Make sure its primed and you know oil have flowed through it before you let the engine start. Just do that before you put the drain on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
