as per title, i need to find somewhere to refurbish my front hubs (new bearings & paint touch up) as i havent got a torque wrench that goes high enough nor do i have a work bench & vice which will handle the hub nut torque.

My local garage quoted me over £70 to do the job. there must be a cheaper place out there?

If that includes parts and labour its not bad,why not ask them to loosen the nuts for you and fit the bits and get them to tighten them back up, it takes seconds with an impact gun and I did mine the other day in ten minutes.

Find an engineering firm, they will get the hub nuts off, replacing bearings on a Sierra is easy then take back to the engineering firm to torque them up.
Where are you in the world?
You might have some club help close by

Dan, you know where I am if you need a large vice and some brute force, bring the new bearings and some biscuits.
