When I did this I clamped a vise-grip wrench onto the driveshaft, and using arithmetic figured the weight of a handful of nuts which I put on a loop of string and hung from the adjustment knob on the wrench.

I was looking for the "break away" setting - and as some have said, the second nut has to be used "in concert" with the first one.

But that was before better tools - or even a common description. I think I was following Rick Freeman as that was the "modern" instruction that was available.





I'm "dating" myself here...
