Re[2]: Removing the flywheel -- and torquing it.

Oh yeah, there is!  The one I was borrowing went well above 275 ft/lbs!  
The down side it that it can be a little on the pricey side ($$).

I've been told wildly differing things.

1.  Bash the hell out of it.  Run it up as tight as it will go,
     then tighten it a whole lot more.  Then take it to a shop
     and tighten it the rest of the way with an air impact wrench.

2.     You can get it tight enough with a 5-foot pipe, a socket, and
     gentle pressure.


Is there such a thing as a torque wrench that can measure 240 ft lbs?
