How do you have an impact gun but don't know what socket set to use? Follow this guy advice.
I would go manual if you don't want to strip or crack your bolts by over torquing them . It's not that hard.
Impacts are fine to tighten them snug, but not fully. Personally my electric gun has a torque limit and will set them to 70ftlbs, leaving just a few turns with the torque wrench. Or just buy torque sticks.
+1. I don't bother with an impact gun, but it's fine for loosening the nuts. I just quickly loosen the nuts with a breaker bar, then use my drill to spin them off, then on again, then use a torque wrench to secure it properly.

Yes, Check Owners manual.
If you can stay away from air/electric/impact tools, here is a good way to get started with two items totaling $35.98 + tax, both at half price or better, at the current Princess Auto sale (Nov. 14-26, 2017):NotMoneyGuy wrote: ↑As also stated above, hand tools are preferred by many. Get a breaker bar and a torque wrench IMO.

I picked up the coloured $19 deep Metrics for nineteen bucks to supplement my existing impact set of the same, as I got in the habit of keeping the matching socket in each vehicle with its lock nut key. Now none are "missing" from my main kit.
AFAIK, the above two deep impact sets were last on sale at PA for $24.99 ("Save 35%") back in July 11-23, 2017. Their sales tend to be cyclical.NotMoneyGuy wrote: ↑ Princess Auto is a good place to keep an eye on for nice sales on sets of deep impact 1/2" drive sockets.
