    actully I just thought about it .It can't be the same .eg, a spanner 10 inches long with a spring scale on the end lifting 90 ftlb will give less touque then if it was on the end of a 30 inch spanner. with the same amount of load

    Thanks guys so much for all your help but after a lot of research I have found out that all I need to do is use some locktite and a cap and just tightened them up securely.
