Default Where to buy centre lock wheel change tools?

Hi all. Where in Canada (online) or in the GTA (store) can I buy a breaker bar/torque wrench and wheel nut grease that's required for changing centre lock wheels on my 991 GT3?

There are USA sources for the breaker bar/torque wrench:
http://www.tooltopia.com/precision-i...s-c4d600f.aspx

and USA sources for the wheel nut grease:
http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...1GT3CHASSISACC

Where in Canada can I get these?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't understand why anybody would buy the $385.00US breaker bar when a large Princess Auto or Canadian Tire breaker bar would do the same job. Not sure about the price comparison with a Snap-On torque wrench of similar size... but I would buy something local with a lifetime warranty over the excessively priced Porsche stuff... But then again, I don't own a GT3!

The wheel nut tool... well, that you have to get from Porsche.

For Canadian sources for a torque wrench that size, search for your local Snap-On, Mac Tools, or Matco retailer... If you see the trucks, just pull the guy over, he would be happy to sell you a wrench that size! Or if you have a local mechanic, ask them who is the best guy to deal with in the tool vans, they come right to your door!

If you want a store front.. Brafasco or similar industrial fastener stores will sell torque wrenches and breaker bars the size you need.

I bought a tube of aluminum paste from them last week. You have to call in and order it with the part number, costs around $40. Use PCA card for 10% discount as well.
