Club 80-90 Forums

Going to have ago at my bu88ered wbx (see other thread). But what's the best torque wrench to buy? Bentley says do not use clicker type but a dial type.....
Been up Halfords there is a a 40-200 one for £50, is it any good?

Or perhaps anyone near-by I could borrow one from? (I might only need it this once! ) also engine stands. What type do I need to hold a wbx?

Can you tell I've never done this before?

We hired an engine stand from HSS.....don't know if they do wrenches as well, though

We have about 8 engine/gearbox stands in our workshop. Some are tripod 3 wheels the rest are 4 wheels. The three wheeled ones are probably border line for a WBX I would recommend the slightly heavier duty 4 wheel type like this one from machine mart:

I wouldn't pay Halfrauds prices for a torque wrench either, see this clarke one, absolutely fine for the home mechanic:
