Giga X Pipe: Torque Wrench?

I'm troubleshooting a squeak/creak that seems tb coming from
somewhere in the vicinity of the BB.

I want to tighten up the collars, but fear stripping the threads.

Can't remember how I tightened them in the 1st place, but it was
probably with a strap wrench, a hope, and a prayer.

Step 1 "Torque to 34-41 Nm"

Does anybody actually get a torque wrench on these things?

If so, how you do dat?

let it squeek let it squeek let it squeek......maybe it'll go away
prob get worse n fallof. eyeyahhahhah...

you could go with Campy.....

snug plus is prob good enough unless a large crowd or the factory sez
more or less.

an online search using optimized wording should bring an answer from
the crowd.

each time I look from curiosity, I find a large group of hand wringers
seeing cracks in their futures

Not yet needed to bother with such an assembly but I would probably
use a metal band strap wrench. Had to get one as an oil filter wrench
as access next to the hot exhaust was otherwise difficult using other
tools. Work out the distance to the point at which to attach a spring
balance and calculate the pull required. 180N at 200mm is a force I
can reasonably judge without resort to costly measuring devices (a
pocket balance will cost about £4 or so). If you use a short lever,
it's much less likely you will strip the threads, even if you fall
while doing the job. The strap wrench is a good choice as you set the
band tension so a severe overtorque cannot happen, the tool slips
without damaging the component.
I believe there is actually a tool that fits the retainers to enable
a standard square drive toque indicating wrench to be applied. Cyclus
is probably the manufacturer.

BUT A pipe wrench one side welded to the torque.....how would one weld
a to a torque wrench ?

Use a crows foot w/ torque wrench & do the leverage caluclation. JD

The Unior product is probably way cheaper.

34 - 41 Nm equals 25 - 30 Foot pounds - or a force equal to 25 - 30
pounds applied to a 1 foot wrench, or 12.5 - 15 pounds on a 2 ft
wrench.

If you can't estimate it, hang the bike up, put the wrench on the BB,
measure off 1 ft and tie a bucket to it and pour 11.5 liters of water
in the bucket.

Sadly, this is one of those times when you need the right tool.
This one looks good, has a half inch square for a torque wrench and comes from
not too far away from you.

Personally, I use one that looks like this Park tool except mine was branded
Lifu and cost half as much.

No provison on this one for a torque wrench. However, I know that 30ft/lbs is
pretty damn tight or about 1 1/2 grunts.
I had a squeak from external cup BB assembly that went away when I faced and
chased the bottom bracket shell (never been done when new) and reinstalled the
cups.

Per Anne Onime:
the torque wrench snaps right into the bb tool:

Bingo.

Thanks!
