Hi,
Just got the new OEM brake pads ordered last week; went to the automotive shop nearby to get a torque wrench for the job; at the moment they only had a 3/8" T-wrench 20-200 in-lb made by Storm.
Is it an ok one to get the job done, or should I find one with higher torque? Heard I need about 265 in-lb to install caliper guide bolts, or maybe 200 in-lb will do?
I would get one that reads on ft lbs unless your manual is written for in lbs. Typically caliper bolts torque to 45-55 lbs. Never seen one Higher than that on a car.
