Nor do I. At a buck 60 and short I could swing from it and it wouldn't budge!!

They make very long torque wrenches to achieve that! That torque is for the front axle diagonal bar correct?
I have torqued bolts up 350 FT lbs before. That was using a 5 foot torque wrench and another person helping me pulling on the handle!

That is nothing. The Jesus nut on a helicopter can go on at even higher @ 650 Ft/Lb.
See page 5-12 for the nice tool for putting the thing on.

If it's the bolt I'm thinking of, I got on it on my FX4, with the tire on even, like this. I bought a five foot piece of pipe that fit over my ratchet and stood on the end. With a little bounce from my knees (I have the legs of a dancer) and some very intense mathematical equations, I was able to achieve exactly 406 ft/lb with my 225lb frame 
all BS of course except the deuce and a quarter part but the bolt was damn tight when I got off that pipe.

Three simple option, torque multiplyer, hydraulic wrench, or a J wrench- air powered torque multiplyer.

They can be rented from industrial rental places. You will need something solid for the reaction arm to rest against.

I had taken it off the same way but I had LIFT on the pipe. I did pay attention and made a mental note of what it took to get it off and figured standing on it would put it back about where it was. I used to lift when I was a young man (but skipped leg day a lot- haha). Now I'm low speed but can still come up with some torque when I need to.
