I use a torque wrench with a extension on, eliminates the chance of scratching wheels.

Supposedly you are not supposed to use a torque wrench to undo bolts because it affects the calibration. Use a breaker bar.

torque wrenches should never be used to undo bolts...

I use a 4 way wheel brace, works a treat however the other day it slipped out of my hand (was pissing it down) and it twated the wheel, chipped some of the black paint off :cry:

problem is if you get a wanker to tighten your nuts to much and they shear when getting the wheel off..

you have to twat them badly ..

also this is not a joke as seen
