Any decent torque wrench will do. Home Depot has some as does Amazon. 1/2 inch drive. 17mm wheel socket and 2 ton jack stands and you're all set! |

get these for the jack points. you don't need four. lowes also has a good TR, if you do not want to wait on the Costco toilet paper lines. get a TR that spins up to at least 200ft-lb. do not buy a digital TR unless its a HQ unit like a snap-on. be mindful of space when jacking up your car. if you are working in a space for just 2 cars or small garage you may want to get a smaller hydraulic jack that will allow you make complete up and down crank movements. If you have a large jack with a long crank handle and not enough space for complete crank movements you will have to "short crank" the jack (pumps the piston) which will result in premature jack failure. |

Your Jack points are in your manual. There a lot of good reading in it. |
