I should get the correct shims for my truck today. And i don't have all the right tools to get this done. my torque wrench doesn't go up to 300 foot lbs i don't have a needle or dial type in. lbs. torque wrench. the socket i used to get the pinion nut off is too big lol i need a 1/2" drive 1 7/16" 12pt socket. and well technically i need a bearing puller/installer for the pinion but hopping i can do with out. any one got an idea where i could pick these up sears doesn't have a 1/2 drive 1 7/16 socket. and i know torque wrenches can be expensive for a good set. any one got a hook up?

NorthernTool would have the socket. Not sure about the t-wrench though

I checked tonight and the biggest socket I have is a 1 3/8" so if you need something bigger, I can't help you with that. Also checking my torque wrench, it only goes up to 250 ft/lbs. I guess I struck out twice. I do have an inch/lb tq wrench but it is a click style, so I don't know if that helps or not.
