Not a good idea. You should use a spanner (wrench?) The torque wrench is used to TIGHTEN to the correct torque. If the nut has been tightened up too tight, you stand a chance of damaging the torque wrench. Also, the last one that I borrowed (a few years ago) had a ratchet that only worked clockwise, to stop you loosening the nuts with it. Dunno how that would have worked on a left hand thread
