Default Axle Nut Torque Adapter
I thought I was buying the axle torque nut adapter HD-47925 but I accidentally ordered a simple axle wrench HD-94695-08. Physics is definitely not my thing. Will I be able to torque to specs (95-105 ft lbs) by hand? Any other ideas?

my UC tool kit had a 36mm wrench with a 1/2" cutout for a torque wrench. I use this set-up to do mine.

Get a 1/2 torque wrench and you should have no problem...Harbor Freight has them cheap!!!

I have a torque wrench but this axle wrench doesn't have a 3/8 or 1/2" hole for the torque wrench.

I bought my adapter from Pit Posse. It wasn't very expensive.

Remove either the top or bottom shock bolts and you can jack the bike up or down to clear your pipes and then just use the torque wrench and the appropriate size socket to torque the axle nut....A little bit of work but at least you don't need to buy another wrench...

The torque wrench should be 90degrees to the torque adaptor to get an accurate reading.
