1/2" torque wrench - balactm - 03-17-2009
anyone in the JMU area have a 1/2" drive torque wrench for up to 150 ft/lbs? I'm replacing my half shaft and need to torque it to 134...if no one does i'm just going to buy one from sears but i'd prefer to borrow one since i only need it once...

eh, just use a 1 ft breaker bar and put most of your weight on it. Precisely 135ft/lbs.
disclaimer: I have no idea how much you weigh :dunno:
Honestly though, you'll probably end up within 10% and that's quite good enough.

I did it for my Accord's axle nuts. Most of the car fell apart later... but the nuts were still on and tight.

1/2" IR impact gun for 3-4 seconds once nut is seated
