you don't need a torque wrench to take things apart, just to put them back together...

im guessing he plans on putting the wheels back on too.
just guessing.

All wrenches require torque.
Duh.

not interested in your guesses, he said take apart!
Sears has some cheap torque wrenches, that's all you need for anything outside the engine/transmission.

Harbor Freight!

You can borrow one of mine, which one do you need 3/8 or 1/2 inch?
Anyone know of a good quality in/lb torque wrench? I may just suck it up and get snap-on so I know it is fucking accurate, but goddamn it is expensive.

Dude - I freaking LOVE my Snap On wrench. It's the digital one, so it beeps and vibrates at the specific torque. Plus, it displays what you _actually_ torqued the bolt to. I want another, but I can't justify the expense of a 3/8 AND a 1/4 digi wrench. You can usually find SnapOn/Matco stuff on Craig's List at a deep discount (I actually found a 1/4 SnapOn click type for $50 last night w/case).
I'm not near JMU, though, sorry OP.

If you don't get it, I will. My in/lb'er is a beam type and I don't like it

I don't think it matters. I just need to torque each 8mm bolt to ~12lbs. I wont need it for a little bit tho I will let you know via AIM.
thanks yo
