Flywheel Torque Wrench?

[blade34609]

Hi,

OK i just put my flywheel on my D16 and I am about ready to tighten the flywheel bolts.
Only thing is will I need a torque wrench to do this?
I dont have one and I really dont wanna spend more money on one.
I do have a breaker bar so I can tighten it up real good?
I'll tighten them up in the sequence it says in Haynes repair manual.
Thanks

you can rent one from a local parts store for pretty cheap...most places you pay an hourly rate that's not too much....i think it might be better to use the torch wrench because im guessing you have to put a certain amount of pressure to it, and it would measure it...

You might as well just buy one so that you'll have it for any other engine work you decide to do or whatever... I bought one for about $35, not too bad.

Sears sells the ghetto ones for like $20. I got a click type one for $70. Worth the money though.
