I went through this 1 year ago when installing a 2nd CPU in my SB1K. I
ended up buying the tool from one of the US resellers - it probably cost
$50 AUS including shipping - but it was worth the price considering the
alternative was either a stuffed MoBo or CPU or both. The connection
pins are wafer thin and the slightest over torquing will do damage.

Buying a general purpose torque tool would be significantly more expensive.

Just post to comp.sys.sun.wanted requesting the tool and someone will
respond.
