Torque Formulas

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda CX-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When using a torque wrench-SST or equivalent combination, the specified torque must be recalculated due to the extra length that the SST or equivalent adds to the torque wrench. Recalculate the torque by using the following formulas. Choose the formula that applies to you.

Torque Unit	Formula
N.m	N.m x [L/(L+A)]
kgf.m	kgf.m x [L/(L+A)]
kgf.cm	kgf.cm x [L/(L+A)]
ft.lbf	ft.lbf x [L/(L+A)]
in.lbf	in.lbf x [L/(L+A)]
^AThe length of the SST past the torque wrench drive. ^LThe length of the torque wrench.
