How many inch pounds. If it is a lot you can convert to ft lbs

To do a good job, its always best to have a good tool. I've got a Matco in.lb., Snap-On 3/8, Matco,1/2, and Cat 3/4... Any of the above are "pricey" for a one time use.... Sounds like you might need to just rent one from a local shop or parts store. Good luck!

My Craftsman seems to work fine. Cost is decent if you only are going to use it a few times.

Thats my .02
