i'm about to adjust/clean/lube my chain, and i was wondering if there is any reason for me not to use a super long breaker bar on my torque wrench for tightening the rear axle nut? (only reason i'm asking anyway is i'm weak/lazy).
as far as my rudimentary grasp of physics goes, and my understanding of torque wrenches, there shouldn't be any problems because the force is measured at the head anyways, which should be exclusive of whatever torque multiplier i'm using, which would mean it doesn't matter if i had a 2mi long breaker bar, it'd just be absurdly easy to exceed the torque required.
i just don't want to way overtighten it and clamp my swingarm or do any other damage to it...
anyone have any thoughts?
