do i need to put it into gear or would neutral would be fine before e-brake and jacking? also if the car is going/facing upwards (only very slightly however) in an incline is this very dangerous? i would block the rear wheels of course and use two jackstands up front but the slight incline worries me.

also a question about a torque wrench: what is a single ideal torque wrench to have for this job and also for other jobs such as torquing your wheel lugs? what range of lbs (example: 25-250lb) and also what drive (1/2 or 3/8)? thanks.
