A quick and easy method that I use for my 1/2 inch torque wrench calibration is:
1. Clamp a 1/2" breaker bar in a bench vice.
2. Couple the breaker bar to the torque wrench with a 15mm 6
point socket. The torque wrench shall be parallel to the
floor.
3. Make a mark on the torque wrench handle 12 inches from
the center line of the connecting socket.
4. Dangle a 50 pound bag of water softener salt from the
marked place your wrench and you now have a 50 ft
pound calibration point
Not quite Mil Spec, but close enough for GMC work.
