you can't - you need a torque wrench...

have you got a spring balance or baggage scales if so you could use one to set the torque, example 10lbs ft is, a torque of 10 lbs on a radius of 1 foot, or 20lbs at 6 inches, so you could measure spanner/ bar lenth and work out what torque is needed on that lenth, hope that makes sense, regards chris

Thanks , just says not to exceed 30nm , so just tight but dont go nuts I presume

Stupid Q, but the An Fitting wont allow me to use a socket , I can only use an open Spanner

 

What tool would you use, tried looking for a Torque Spanner

Yeah, 30nm really isn't that tight. It's the lowest setting my torque wrench goes to anyway.

you would use a crows foot spanner with 3/8 attachement... tbh that warning is there since the fittings are delicate.. just dont go mental with tight..
