If you have the piece of angle iron laying around it's no biggie. Also I
snapped a breaker one time with a cheater, something about force vibration
in physics. My hands/arms didn't hit anything but when it let go the
vibrations were killer on my extremities. It took about 30 minutes to get
the feeling back.
Yes, airtools work too, I just brap mine off with my old 300ft lb IR special
without a lock but if you don't have that the angle iron is the best way.
It is also
how I torque the nut on with the ye olde 450ft lb torque wrench, 3/4" of
course. I think I only use that tool for installing gland nuts and rear
axle nuts.
