Maybe your machinist friend has one to loan you?
If not, you're looking for a
1/4" drive torque wrench rated in inch/lbs.
You're local auto parts store, Sears or sometimes even Home Depot / Menard's will have one.
They come in three styles.
- Beam type - cheapest price - if used carefully, probably more accurate than click type.
- Click type - middle price, good brand name counts for accuracy.
- Dial type - most expensive, most accurate.
The specification you're suppose to torque the bolt to is 97 inch/lbs and you want that to fall somewhere in the middle 70%-80% of the torque wrench's range. They all tend to be less accurate at the far ends of the scale.
