....but if you don't have a son, or interested daughter, to leave all those nice tools to when you croak from the carcinogens in transmission fluid, you can write me into your will any time.  

Does that little red button on the little torque wrench pop up when you get to the proper torque?

Also always a good idea to wear something like nitrile exam gloves on these jobs.  I never bothered until I started working in medical device manufacturing where I can't go onto the manufacturing floor with hands that look like I maybe changed a diesel starter last night.  But after starting to wear them, I keep a generous supply on hand now.  MAN do they save on the clean-up time, not to mention keeping the icky stuff out of your system....I don't remember where I saw it but some doctor  or other talking about what we absorb through our skin ended with the idea, "if you wouldn't eat it, don't put it on your skin."  Me, I just like the easy clean-up.

Beautiful write-up, BTW.

Q:  How do you tell a young mechanic from an old mechanic?

A:  The young mechanic ALWAYS washes his hands after going to the bathroom.  The old mechanic always washes his hands BEFORE going to the bathroom.
