The wrench flats on my brake are not wide enough to put a wrench on for installing my QD brake.
Besides grinding my wrench down to make it skinnier I can't think of any more ways to install this. I tried a strap wrench, but it just slips on the brake. My barrel (and the diameter of the provided shims) are larger than the brake's 3/4"/19mm flats. Has anybody solved this one? |

Quoted:
Were you able to get to the full recommended torque this way? YHM recommends shimming so you need to tighten the last 1/4". Did you use a wood rod? I thought of that, but I was afraid a metal one might burr the ports. I managed to get it torqued well enough and I used a rod that was a pretty snug fit in the port, so all I got was a shiny spot, no burrs. Even if you do roll a small burr, you can knock it down with a file. If you shoot it with the suppressor, you'll never notice it again. |

I would not be opposes to this, but my barrel is also larger than the flat so that would not help in my case. Quoted:

Yeah, i messed up and gave my shims 'sides'  I would not be opposes to this, but my barrel is also larger than the flat so that would not help in my case. Yeah, mines covered by the rail so I can get away with it looking shitty as it cant be seen |
