With so many variables, there is no possible response to this statement.

How strong are you? Are you built like Bo Jackson or Bo Derek?

How long is the ratchet handle/breaker bar you plan to use?

Will you stand on the wrench handle to tighten it? If so, how much do you weigh?

And so on......

310 ft/lbs is exactly that. Why not rent the correct tool and get it right. The cost of repairing a possible failure caused by getting it wrong could exceed the cost of the Tq Wrench and/or possible loss of life.

You think professional is expensive? Try novice!
