How much torque to slip a lunchbox locker?
I just put an Detroit EZ locker in the front diff. If I put a socket on a wheel nut (with that one wheel in the air), how much torque should I expect to apply and hear it slip/click? I expected it to click while doing up the wheel nuts but it didn't.

wait...
thats not how it works. It ratchets, not slips. In order for it to ratchet by hand, you would have to jack up the front, lock both hubs, spin one tire backward slightly then forward and you should hear it clickityclackity all you want.
