[Spridgets] Toyota Troubles

Breaking them loose can be the easy part. Get a 6 foot section of 1.5 inch pipe, slip it over a lifetime warrantee sears ratchet and click away.

No idea how to get the torque set.

Good luck,

Its so strange that a car with such a reputation for reliability can  
go wrong in ways that are harder to fix than a spridget.  Anyway, the  
rear struts on my 1993 corolla are pretty well dead.  Feals awful when  
I hit a bump.  Wife refuses to drive it.  I have a haynes manual for  
it and it looks easy enough but some of the bolts are torqued up to  
over 100 ft/lbs of torque!  I dont have a torque wrench that can  
measure that and I am not sure i can eat enough spinach to break them  
loose in the first place.  Any recommendations other than taking it in  
for repair?
