Mint 1989 supra found. Need quote on re-torque

There is no substitute for experience, but there are old farts that won't touch anything with a computer or fuel injected.

I would recommend that you get involved with doing it, if you know a mate that knows a thing or two like what a torque wrench is, you should be sweet. You always got the forum or the trsm to fall back on if funny smelly chocolate hits the fan.

I would only guess but I estimate a re-torque would cost between $150-$300. 2 to 3 hours labour.

Well I think I might give it a shot. I am mechanically inclined. I have worked on my old ford and replaced the rotor, bearings, calipers and pads and I do have a craftsman torque wrench. The wrench is the needle on the dial kind and I wonder how accurate it might be. I found this link on the retorque method. Whats your opinion. Maybe another link you can provide?
Thanks
