I recently mounted a psi gauge on a tapped banjo bolt. It threads onto the CP3 and torque specs say tighten to 18 ft lbs. The problem was, with the gauge in the way, I couldn't put a socket on the banjo bolt (the gauge was threaded directly into the top of the banjo).

But I could get a open-end 7/16" box wrench on the back of the gauge. And the 3/8" drive extension fit perfectly into the other end of the box wrench. It worked like a extra-long crowfoot.

I kept the box wrench and torque wrench at 90 degrees (relative to each other) and torqued to about 15 ft lbs.

Can anybody tell me what the torque was at the banjo ?

 

Torque is the moment of a force; the measure of a force's tendency to produce torsion and rotation about an axis, equal to the vector product of the radius vector from the axis of rotation to the point of application of the force and the force vector.
In other words if you apply 10 pounds of pressure to a 1 foot ratchet you would have 10 ft pounds of torque (10 pounds x 1 foot= 10 ftlbs). Ed B

 

Eddie beat me to it.

I'm guessing ratchet and box end was at least a foot so you're at or over what you needed. If it's not leaking I wouldn't think twice about it.
