you dont need to torque the rear nut, you just go "its as tight as she'll go captian!" thats enough

I would say that Mike is probably right. I ipersonaly would rather know that is to spec though.

in general snap-on is always way over-priced, the quality and warranties make up for it tho.

I can hook up good deals on craftsman tools.

I would advise to properly torque the flywheel nut to 375lbs of torque. Only because I have heard some horror stories and personally seen one guy loose 3 fingers when the flywheel came flying out.

I own a snap on 3/4 drive torque wrench that goes up to 600 ft lb I paid 500.oo bucks for it. I own the smaller one too for oil pump bolts and timing cover bolts and oil pan bolts. Proper torque is part of the secret to a happy engine.

i ve heard of people torking 400 ft/lb plus on ligth weigth flyweels any one else heard of this?

You can alwaqys deal with the snap-on guy. No prices are set in stone. The one that comes to my dealership loves to trade as well.
