Default you can get a breaker bar and allen sockets at any local auto part stores. Where you located?

I would also go to home depot and get a hollow steel pipe that can fit over the breaker bar. You will also need a good torque wrench and another bolt because those are one torque use.

Default I use an impact gun, but before I had that I used a 24in breaker bar with the pipe handle from the

floor jack. then a husky 1\2in two and a half foot torque wrench to tighten back on
