Hi All,
I'm torqueing the four AN-6 bolts on my RV-14 fuselage F-01442 Lower Drag Fittings. The two inboard bolts are pretty straightforward. The outer two are tougher to get at. The only way to torque the nut is by using a universal joint and extensions. I'd try torqueing the bolt but there's not enough space for the torque wrench ratchet to reengage and turn. A crows foot there doesn't help either.
Is using a universal joint acceptable with a torque wrench? If so must any torque setting adjustments be made? I can't find a clear answer or reference on that.
Thanks for everyone's time.
Scott
