Tighten the nut firmly with the socket wrench for twelve
point nut with L-handle. Insert the socket wrench
5.0 mm
with T-handle into the socket wrench for twelve point nut
and pass the two together over the stick. The socket wrench
5.0 mm must engage in the hexagonal socket of the stick.
The stick serves to apply countertorque. The socket wrench is
spring-loaded and can be pushed down continuously with
the left hand on the T-handle. To tighten the nut further, lift
the L-handle of the socket wrench with the right hand and
engage it again.
If the stick has already been removed, push the screwdriver
4.0 mm with T-handle into the socket wrench for twelve
point nut and use this to apply countertorque.
Note:
When using a 6 mm rod, several threads of the nut
will remain visible.
Option: Using the torque-limiting device
