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?
