If your torque wrench doesnt go that high, weigh yourself, then slide a pipe over a breaker bar. Do the math....x inches from the nut: stand.
Or like I used to do on old VW bugs: A one pound lump hammer and a cold chisel on the enge of the castellated nut: one swing, all your 16 year old might is exactly 256 ft lbs. |
