Torquing Up The Drop Link Inner Facing Bolts

[amdowney]

Hey guys, did these up 'hand' tight as couldn't get the big torque wrench in there and one as come loose (clunking)!

Do I need to find a smaller torque wrench, small ones seem not to go up to 60NM? (+45 deg)

Might be time to invest in one of these perhaps but not sure on the length:

Halfords Advanced Torque Wrench Model 100

I have a clarke digital unit that goes in between the wrench and the socket for such occasions.

.... a normal quality torque wrench 'could be enough ..... remember that for the iron rims it takes a tightening torque up to 18kgm ....

If you lowers van on B14s do you need to replace the drop Lynks for shorter ones as a garage mentioned to me.
Also what do the drop links do?. Thanks
