Having a big truck is cool and all but how do you account for the torque inaccuracy?

There's a formula to adjust to a lower setting or you put the torque wrench 90⁰ to the adapter and the amount does not change. If the amount is 180ft/lbs, you drop it to 155ft/lbs and you'll achieve the torque spec. Since the cylinders get torque to either 15ft/lbs (I think have to look it up again) or 13ft/lbs, long as I have room, should be fine.

How to Adjust Torque Values When Using Torque Adapters
Understanding fastener torque and the corresponding values is important when working on Terex bucket trucks and Terex digger derricks.

Cylinder hone showed up yesterday. Any recommendations for a honing oil? Evidently the company I got the hone from, also has like a 1 gallon jug of their own oil for sale on Amazon. Thing is, I may need like maybe a quart to a half gallon tops to do both cylinders.

Buy it, unless it’s redickerously expensive. Buy it anyway. Otherwise, seen people using any oil even WD.

When I worked for Buick I would use ATF in a squirter oil can. You don’t need to soak it just keep it wet. Soak the stones for a half a day or so before you use the hone.

Okay its smaller than I thought. Guess its a pint, but never clicked on it until now. But they do offer a 5 gallon bucket.

Soaking the stones is next level brainery. Nice one, Denny. Same for the ball hones as well or are those not recommended? I was trying to think of ATF (it’s like the perfect consistency too).

Same with the dingle ball hones, used to soak those too. When done with them I’d put them back into the ATF and soak them to clean the stones.

I got the dingle ball style hone anyway. Those tend to give better results.

Kerosine! A little ATF additive if ya want.
Use plenty to flush away the particles that are removed.

Surprisingly, unless I go to maybe Tractor Supply or possibly Wal-Mart, Kerosene is not very common out here. In Minnesota, Fleet Farm had at least 1 pump, maybe 2 where you could fill up a can with Kerosene. Out here in Nebraska, haven't seen anything.
Will keep it in mind though. I might have 1 bottle of Mercon LV sitting in the garage, not open.

Lamp oil is kerosine also, and you get a nice citronella scent. Here on the left coast even hardware stores carry it. #1 diesel is the same stuff purdy much.
Smoking while honing is not recommended.

Fortunately I don't partake in cancer stick smoking. But where's your sense of adventure?

We just put the cylinder in the solvent sink and let that run while we hone.

I may need to get a solvent sink. But a 5 gallon HFT bucket might work.
