Yeah, I did have to replace my BB recently. I probably let it go a little too long before taking care of it.
Now, about a torque wrench: I would LOVE to own one. I'm developing a little obsession about measuring torque.

Any recommendations? I don't want to break the bank, but if I'm going to buy one, I want to make sure it's really good. This might be a purchase for down the line.
