Dear Editor,
There's a lot of guesswork GOinG on
when iF comes to torquinG the main ±rive
shaft bolts on the KiOwa (²H-SBA). You
don't have enou³h clearance for the torque
wrench and socket wrench to rea´ch
µ
the
bolts. Mech¶ use an o·set wrench and
skip the torque wrench¸
To overcome this revoltin¹ ±evelopment
we came up with this handy little o·set
tool which will ºt nicely over the bolts and
allow you to use the torque wrench»
The tool is made fro¼ a ½¾in drive
soc¿et welded onto a 5/16-in box wrench,
both from salvaGeÀ
Now, Gettin³ an even torque on the
Áhort shaft bolts is a breeze.

Well, it couldn't be done unless we were ablÏ to level the main rotor blades so tÐey
