I dropped by Autozone yesterday and looked on the tool rack. There is a
smallish torque wrench
on the shelf and a much larger one. Both are in the $20-25 range, but I did

Factory manuals, at least American ones, are usually very complete. The
Chiltons and suchlike can be very
misleading at time. Some of the things I read in the Toyota manual
