Ah, well you obviously frightened it with your efforts 🙂 As for knackering the gearbox with the torque, you’d need to lock the engine to have any chance of this. Pretty sure the engine will turn well before 325Nm! There are nearly 10N in a kg (9.81 for the pedants) so 160kg @ 2m is more like 3,200Nm….. which really is alot 😳 LOL  - That pesky gravity will catch you out every time - When typing it there was a nagging in the back of my mind I was missing something - Newton - clue is in the name I need an apple to smack me on the noggin every now and then. Really just 16KG on the end of a 2m pole ! Should have shifted it just by accidentally leaning against it..... ETA - Two 80kg blokes on the end of the pole would have shifted it though  |

reminds me of a. incident a colleague witnessed, Dealer was having trouble shifting crank bolt on a citroen of some sort so they went and borrowed the truck rattle gun from the cv workshop next door, rattle rattle and the end of the crank snapped off!
