Auto tensioner
I am looking to replace my auto tensioner on 2004 Acura TL 3.2 and was wondering what type of torque wrench anyone has used because there's very little room to work with. Any recommendations on a quality torque wrench would be awesome.

I doubt you'll find any 1/2" torque wrench that fill fit. It might with a stubby 14mm socket, dunno.
I use my 3/8" TW and it fits fine.

I was able to torque that tensioner's middle bolt down using a dog bone extension with modified torque value due to the 2" extension. These aren't cheap, but they are a must have if you want to precisely torque something down in a tight space. I also have a set of crawl foot for torquing bolts down at a different angle. Torquing something down onto the engine block by feel is dangerous unless you have lots of experience by feel.
I use the Nobar torque wrench extension calculator to find the modified value:
