Rusty Member Messages 600 Jul 6, 2007 #1 Hi all, does anyone know the best way to judge the amount of pre-load to put on the wire reel holding nut,the manual says 1.5 - 2.0 Nm but the nut is the nyloc type and as i don't have a torque wrench that goes that low. cheers.

Rusty Member Messages 600 Jul 6, 2007 #5 Thanks weldequip, the manual recommends 1.5-2.0 Nm on the nut but that seems very low and is difficult to judge with a nyloc nut.
