installing clutch with no torque wrench?

[dazzo16]

should i wait to do it. or just try installing it without a torque wrench?

Ehh the bolts only take 6 lbs so I say you should be good without them. Just be sure not to over tighten cause i just snapped a bolt on the pressure plate!

The big nut that hold the whole clutch to the shaft needs torqued.... I suggest getting a torque wrench to be safe, but thats just me

An impact gun is definitely going to over torque any nut.

Use a torque wrench. Go out and buy one you'll be glad you did

Your not the only one bad at math unless its basic simple stuff I am lost, I even have what I call a dumbass tape measure, it has all the little measurements printed on it, so I don't have to figure it out.

A torque wrench is a very good investment, would be good to have a 3/8 and a 1/2 inch torque wrenches never know when you have to have them. They both should be ft/lbs, though I have seen some small bolts need in/lbs.

I liked my Snap-On digital torque wrench. Going to have to pick another one of those up. If you're going to have an engine of any sort and work on it a torque wrench is simply a must have.
