[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2832054, member: 26737"] My dad (the engineer) told me that torque specs were really there to keep you from breaking/stripping the bolt/stud, but I'd still like to get as close as I can. Have you checked with AutoZone, O'Reilley's, or one of the other chains that rents tools? Looks like you'd need a 3/4" drive torque wrench to hit 351ft-lbs, but one of them ought to have one. Harbor Freight has a cheapie 3/4" drive for $79.99 that would get you to 300ft-lbs (if you trust Chinese junk for that), but the decent ones that'll get you to 351ft-lbs are mucho dinero... [/QUOTE]
