MOT Day coming fast

Mot fast approaching so booked in for Friday, so I replaced a damages front door, (Banged up) the welded up the rust on my front windscreen (Bad Winter), only to get the 3 amigos for the first time, which the lead me to get a used Nanocom, from a Aeromole, replace the MAF sensor, and the air filter, then as I had a big bang at every bump, it was two new rear drop links , and new Watts link centre piece, and two new front Hubs, as I was working on the hub just thought I check the front drop links , so 2 new drop links fitted, as it was one of them doing all the banging, last job was to check and free off the waste gate, spindle and now no faults on the Nanocom,

lucky to have a 400 lbft torque wrench to do the job

I just use my body weight and a bit of maths to do the sum to know where to stand on my breaker bar plus extension. It seems to work. But obvs far better to have the proper kit!

Well, if you weigh 100 lbs and you stand on the end of a 2ft breaker bar you are applying 200 ft/lbs of torque, just keep turning the bar until your weight moves it no further. Obviously you need to do the maths for other settings.
There are others on here who do it like this. I have done it for all four hubs and so far so good!
