Torque wrenches and setting for hub nut?



  Impreza Wagon
I'm going to attempt some DIY and replace a dead ball joint however it looks like I'll need a torque wrench for when I piece it all back together.

Does anyone recommend any torque wrenches? Not looking to spend loads as it won't be used often.

Also apart from the hub nut will I need to torque up any other bolts to a certain level when replacing the ball joint?

Halfords pro range are good for general un often use imo.

Worth asking about for a local trade card (friend with one)

No one I know has one around here, I imagine it's a hell of a lot cheaper as well! The one I'm looking at is £80...

Driveshaft Nut - 28
Wheel Bolts - 9
Shock absorber base nut- 18

Probably no help

Oh ok, I think I read on another thread it needs to come off. At least that'll make the job a little easier, also a few people mentioned using a ball joint fork is it actually needed?

EDIT: Just seen your post above :( I think I'll book it in for the work and save my poor hands the effort.
