what are you all doing for a breaker bar and/or a torque wrench for those 991 wheel locks ? its a 1" drive i believe.

also, what ft lbs are you cranking those down to?

This is my favorite..

does it meter torque both ways? you need it to right so you can do both sides of the car, correct? when you say a little clunky to do reverse threads....can y ou expand on that a smidge?
its within a few bucks of like


ebay has the one you recommended for like 385 the one i linked is like 585. what does the 200 buy someone/

Yes it meters torque both ways. You turn the torque part 180 degrees to torque in other direction vs the head unit. Takes a second. We also have that long one. I just prefer the split beam.

Quick, easy, accurate (enough): If 380 is the torque, and you weigh 190 lbs, use a 2 ft. bar and put your full weight on it. Easy peasy. Other torques, body weight, just do the math and make/mark a bar.

On my old 550 ft. lb. centerlocks, I used a jack handle slipped over my breaker bar. I had a piece of tape on the jack handle at 3' (I'm 185 lbs). With the bar perpendicular to the ground, it was quick and easy to tighten to my full weight with hands at the 3' tape mark. Works in either direction.
