NOTE: Ensure that HPL Crowfoot (J 43602) removal tool is straight (0 degrees) on the torque wrench.

You must compensate for the torque wrench and the HPL crowfoot. Refer to the formula for compensation of the torque wrench. To obtain your dial reading perform the following procedure: Multiply your torque wrench length in inches by 225 ft. lb. (305 Nm). Example for an 18 inch torque wrench: 18 X 225 = 4050. Add 3 to the length of your torque wrench. 18 + 3 = 21. Divide the first value obtained by the second value obtained. The result indicates the amount of torque your wrench should tighten the HPL solenoid to. 4050 divided by 21 = 192.8. For an 18 inch long torque wrench, tighten the HPL solenoid to 192.8 ft. lb. (261.4 Nm).
