Good Morning folks.

Richard, I have a beam style torque wrench that in in inch pounds. I just divide by 12 to get my ft lbs. It only goes up to 350 inch pounds. It might not be spot on but it is better than I can guess. I used more force on the wrench than I would have guessesd 156 inch/lbs is. I would have under torqued it.

I might be able to get it with my 7/8th deep socket and a swivel joint to the torque wrench. I figure I want all the options at my disposal before I attack it.

I did get to go drive around in the 911 some yesterday. Another 50 or 60 miles and I will consider it broken in. Then it is happy time - red-line here we come wheeee.

I drove it to work today just to get some more miles on it.
