what kind of torque wrench should I get?? There are many from 20$ and up. Which one is the one. Unless there are alll good

I have a Sears Craftsman torque wrench. Catalog no. 44596 is a 3/8" drive which measures from 5-80 ft./lbs. and also the corresponding newton-meters. It costs US $90 and seems to be a very accurate (+ or- 4%) and easy to use wrench.

I highly recommend it.

well I went to sears and got me a big 1/2 craftsman 20-150 torque. It was about 50$. I thought it was cheap for a usa made product. The one you got was the same price, but I wanted something to torque my wheels properly.

Good choice. The FSM calls for lug nut torque of 66-86 ft./lbs., so even the 3/8" drive wrench would be adequate here also. Happy torqueing.

what does FSM call for drain bolt for oil pan, and the drain/fill bolts for transbox

goldstar

According to FSM: engine oil drain plug is 22 to 30 ft/lbs.
transmission oil level and fill plugs both 29 to 43 ft/lbs.

Make sure you use new sealing washers on all plugs when reinstalling.

thanks again, by the way those bulbs came fast or would had come fast(5days), cept for the royal mail was on strike-- so in my case it was about 8 working days. Still pretty fast for i'tnl order. I was very surprised how fast it all worked out.
