So all the action happened while I was typing. Look at my jig for tightening. Sounds a bit like the force multiplier.

It took an estimated 600 ft·lb to remove the first one I did but the second two I had the radiator out and my high torque Milwaukeee M18 knocked them right out. 1100 ft·lb

The holding tool I designed initially just was 1.5" angle and it got mangled because of the 4' cheater bar and aforementioned 600 ft·lb
