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.

Yes... it's called LIST PRICE and they get the part at a discount below what you can get it for.
As for the torque problem, do like Porter would do. Torque everything to 150. Next reset your torque wrench to 0 then dial it back up to 150. Go over all bolts again. 150 + 150 = 300
There you go. Problem solved
