Message	i was thinking of doing that, but my budget for the project wouldn't let me do it. i went to home depot to see how much for some lumber, i calucated it to be around 30+. So i said i'd thinking about it and headed over to my local harbor freight. Man oh man, did i feel like a kid in a candy factory. I ended up picking up a set of 3 ton jack stands for 11 bucks a compression tester 9 bucks a 1/2 torque wrench for 11 bucks and some assortment of socket extensions. What is everyones experience with the torque wrenches at harbor freight? I knoe they are accurate -+ 4 %, I think thats good enough for a clutch job right?
