Just don't get too wild when tightening stuff up.. Some things need to be torqued down, and others are weak.. Just use common sense..

j/k...I'll look over the torque specs in the haynes manual |
you can adjust the torque on air tools.
I prefer assembly by hand, otherwise air tools is way to go, once you use good air tools you are spoiled. By the way, a 1/4 air ratchet is the tool to have when working on the bodies of a car, doesnt have enough power to break anything and makes assembling and dissassembling bumpers, tailights, fenders,and other parts a breeze, especially for those long bolts. |

Then my wife says, "hey, you're going to buy a compressor someday, might as well get one today." man, I love her. so I got the wrench, compressor, hose, tire filler w/gauge, but couldn't try it out because it was 10 pm. Tonight should see more progress. |

yOU DO HAVE A PROPER 10mm FLARE-NUT WRENCH FOR THE BRAKE LINES:CORRECT?

IF NOT HOME DEPOT HAS A DECENT ONE

I actually just bought a small flare wrench set like 2 days ago, while trying to change my wife's fuel filter. It didn't work, but now I have the correct wrenches! Will I need that for where the line from the hub attaches to the line from the car? I was wondering about that point.
