How to torque Axle Nut to 310!?
My torque wrench, as well as the loaner at AutoZone, only reach 250ft-lb and the E53 front axle nuts call for 310lbs.

How does one achieve that high a torque? Do I really need to go source a super duty torque wrench for this job? Or is there a "250 plus 1/4 turn" type magic trick to this? Or just torque to 250 and hit it with an impact gun?

Thanks!
