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,
Steve

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?
