  20  Joules -  that's Newton metre, not Newton, they are really talking energy not force.
  
  (and 60 lb is 267 N)
  

  
  Thanks. I never get (and want to ) these old units. Must be a real pain to do calculations.

• Covering holes where bolts were with capton tape to help mitigate debris from liberating

  The stored energy being transferred to Mass in tight quarters is a little nerve wracking too.

• I would think he would want to be ready to let go of the "handle"

  A "plane with dihedral"? 
• #254 by Kel on 17 May, 2009 17:00
• Sounds like it's off with no obvious debris?
  
  Hand rail removed!

• Sounds like that worked well! Shame no Ku.

•  Maybe they shoulda bought Van Hoften out of hiding for this one.

• Super!  No debris.  All done. "Can I take a moment?" - Mass
  
  A well deserved moment!

• I'm glad that's behind us.  Now on to cool tool time.
