Hi i live nr heathrow and am in desperate need of a torque wrench capeable of at least 350Nm for half an hour. Anyone out there that can help me? Ill sort out a drink cash etc.
I should have thought about that before taking the driveshaft nuts off!

As has been pointed out in a thread on the citroen forum recently there is no need to get a 350Nm wrench just for hub nuts. Just do it up really hard with a big long bar - that will be plenty. Once you get above 100 the numbers get largely academic. Just do it up as hard as you can with a 3ft bar and rest assured it will be fine.

That bar needs to be a good 17 inches long then at 75kg, for a torque of 236 lb.ft.
