When I rebuild the axels on my car, I used the weight&bar method, just so i can drive to a truck tire shope close to where I lived.
I ask the guy to torque it to spec,and it looked like I wasn't that far off.
The guy didn't even asked for money.
I gave him $20 anyway, and he was very tankfull and said he likes my Ferrari
