Hi guys, I have made an arrangement to supply a 25 to 250 ft/lb torque wrench that is reversible, ratcheted and will torque on both sides of the car--most don't--
Be careful when removing the spinners, do not put more pressure on the wrench after it has clicked or you can damage the torque wrench. Dial it up to max when removing the spinners as it takes more force to loosen them.
I can sell it for $75.00 even when it goes off sale and they will drop ship it to the UK for $57.55 and $9.95 anywhere in the US Which is $80.50 GBP. It is under warranty. Or you can buy it direct from them. Our lotus manual shows arrange from 160 to 220 ft/lbs of torque. See my Business Vendor Listing for the Lotus Manual torque pages. I use 190 with no problems coming loose or getting the spinners off. I loosen them up and then re-torque them every so often.

But a torque wrench that is ratcheted is so easy without having to guess if the spinners are on tight enough and not over tighten.
