If all fails I will buy just a torque wrench and use some pb blaster. I think the Harbor freight in my neck of the woods just opened. Are they normally cheaper than HD or Lowes, Sears?
Harbor Freight is known for having pretty much the cheapest tools around. Some people curse their name, others praise them for offering reasonable prices. Personally I have used them for years and have yet to have had any problems. In fact, many of the hand tools in the Snap On catalog are identical(yes in quality too). They are willing to replace any broken hand tool for free forever just like sears, but for substantially less up front. To me, unless you are going to use these tools absolutely every day like a professional mechanic or a contractor, then they are a good blend of cost vs. effectiveness. For the average occasional/infrequent do it yourselfer, they are ideal. I don't know if you know this or not, but you aren't going to be using the torque wrench to take things off with. At least you really shouldn't. They can be damaged and then the settings you dial in won't be in any way precise. If you have wrenches with a box end, and an open end, you can use one and link another through the other end to create a longer lever, or use a large socket wrench and a hollow length of tube around the handle to get the leverage. You should also look up their metric socket sets while you're there. I think if you get the right two, then they should have any and all sockets you will ever use on the VX.
