I recently got all my parts for a suspension installation but i don't have an air gun. Will a big wrench be enough? I've also noticed that in the DIY, some say to torque your screws but they never say by how much?

Well, it will be much harder without air tools, but it can be done.

As for torquing it to spec, I just go by JTE - Just Tight Enough.

Slide a metal pipe over the wrench for more leverage -- it'll make it a lot easier to get those screws out.

yes, this is physics..

the longer your handle, the less force is needed to screw/unscrew something..


try using a short wrench compared to a longer one,, you'll notice a big difference.. this is why most torque wrenches are about 2ft long.


this is why i love physics, it can be applied to working on cars..

I'm pretty sure I've written one up before, but it's been a long time, and I have no idea where it is, if it's still even online.

Let me look around.

Replace the asterisks with acura world (no space).

It's not mine, but it is better and has pictures.
