You handle units just like you handle algebraic symbols. 1 ft lb X 12 in/ft = 12 in lbs The ft in the numerator cancels with the ft in the denominator. A foot pound means a foot is multiplied by a pound.

Currently I only have an in./lbs. torque wrench. Can I torque the bleeder screws to 156 in./lbs.? Is this correct logic?
