And if you need too . . . go BUY a bigger torque wrench - or borrow one. I have about a 36" Mac Tools torque wrench - bought it specifically so I could handle torque loads like this.

My old trusty Craftsman 1/2 inch "torque needle" wrench is nowhere big enough for this type of work . . . and I know better than guessing what the torque value MIGHT be.
