RE: need some torque

What do you mean by safest? Just use your head. The biggest safety issue is probably a transmission falling on your head, but that's why you will need to use jacks.

Actually the biggest danger(as in any job you do under your car) might be the car falling on this poor fella :-D

Well, I assume that he realizes that. To prevent this, I use ramps (those things are extremely handy)
