(1) To obtain proper torque reading when using adapter tool (T66P-3553-B), multiply desired torque reading by torque wrench length and divide result by total wrench and adapter tool length (5.5"). Example: With a 13" torque wrench, 5.5" adapter tool and a desired torque value of 55 ft. lbs (75 N.m), the actual torque reading would be 39 ft. lbs. (52 N.m)
