Chipper blade torque wrench

[dan494]

what size are the bolts that torque seems awfully high for blade bolts they must be a large diameter or high strength bolts

 

This is the measurements for the a530, at least you know they're not going anywhere!

I thought that.

 

24 socket does mine

Mines 6" chipper 24mm socket with 10mm hex on the flip side

i think the work ones are 310nm , i brought my torque wrench in but was nowhere near big enough, we could barley get them off so just put them back on at that sort of tightness, do you reckon a torque wrench is necessary or not??

[Jonny69]

The ones on my bandit are meant to be around that torque. They seem to tighten up on the machine though and require hanging off a 3ft breaker bar to get them off.

 

I have to guess what to put them on at as there's no room for a torque wrench on the nut.

 

310nm is quite a bit though.

 

Edit; more like a squat off the tracks actually to get them off. getting my rights and lefts mixed up

Assuming the bolt is 16mm and a decent spec 310nm would be about right.
