I'm a highly trained professional, I have everything under control. FYI, I have put in many a ball joint, tie rods and never used a torque wrench. Rear axles I do use a torque wrench. And as I've said before, I worked in different shops over the years and I never saw one mechanic use a torque wrench on wheels. It wasn't until a few years ago that I was told that a torque wrench should be used on wheels. I've always tighten them in a criss cross pattern.

I started doing all my own tire rotations using a torque wrench years ago after I had to remove a wheel a shop put on. They completely overtightened the lug nuts.

Professional what? I'm a professional too, but what am I a professional at?
I wouldn't touch an engine you've built if you never used a torque wrench. The professional mechanics in the machine shop used them all the time, even the hacks used them.

I think that you probably could qualify for the part in a pirate movie

I never said I that I've never used a torque wrench, I use them for engine rebuilding. You probably would be scared of the power that the engine would put out

this is a weak argument with poor evidence to back it up. besides, it's not about elvis.

you're just flapping your goat lips about woulda, coulda, shoulda, gonna.

you ain't buying nothin' and you ain't laying down 12's with some small block that we're all gonna be amazed by. these proclamations are down right comedy.
