Car won't start - Toyota Yaris Forums

Stupid question:

Lefty Loosey, Righty Tighty, so if I am in front of the car I push on the torque wrench from the right hand side of the nut to unscrew it... correct?
The last mechanic was either ham fisted, or didn't bloody well change the oil in ages. I suspect the latter since the colour is very dark on the dip stick.

I think I'm going to have to start hammerring it, as I'm a bit worried about using my massive torque wrench. Like it's massive - I only use it as the rear wheel on my bikes take 65nm, but this yolk is good for 200nm. The minimum setting is 30nm, will that be OK to use?
