Borrow someone's torque wrench set?
 
I'm installing a spacer sometime this week - please let me know if you have a torque wrench with extensions set I can borrow (looking with 17, 10, 8 and 4mm metric sockets)!!

I can drive to pick it up from you, and give you some kind of collateral like my girlfriend.

Be careful though, they are the click type... and easy to overtorque with if you aren't paying attention. I didn't hear/feel it click and snapped a bolt before.

Thanks for the tips. I"ll watch out for that.. might just do hand-pushed because I read that 90 in-lbs is the max you can do with your hand.

Not a good idea, and not at all true. Leverage does not work that way.
