Phono cartridge torque wrench

Some manufacturers recommend them but if you use one make sure you do not over tighten the screw because you can strip the threads pretty easy on those types of screws and most cartridge bodies.

i traded in my wife for a 7.2 gt3rs some 10 years ago

very liberal trade in policy at my fave p-car store, i highly recommend that outfit - just make sure the wife has no CEL’s showing when you bring her in

I tried that but the DME showed 5000 Range 6 ignitions at 480 hours. I don't understand. She only has 481 hours and I never took her over redline even once.

Ya millercarbon, but you can't downshift her from 6th to 1st. 

@jjss49, good swap.

I am reviving this thread because I want to buy a torque screwdriver for cartridge mounting

There are a few listed and the one in the link below has options in a few ranges, shown below.

I would appreciate it someone could provide guidance on

1. Whether this would be a good choice

2. Which would be the best range of in-lbs

Thanks for your help with this
