Default I need to torque something 300 foot pounds. Very hard to find a wrench.
Anyone have any suggestions? I don't suppose a parts store will loan one like that.

What I am doing is putting new struts on my 2004 f150. I am figuring on buying an inexpensive air wrench, a heavy duty torque wrench, sockets. I gotta torque to 300 foot pounds. I don't want to spend near what I could get it done for.

Another thing, the last time I had mechanic work, they charged me about 30% higher for parts above what I could by at the store. Are mechanics charging above retail for parts.
