So these are a big mother to tighten, correct?
Something like 250 lb-ft of torque?

I assume I need to keep the center section input shaft from turning, but since I have a Torsen, the other side should just sit there.

I have a 1/2" breaker bar and a cheater pipe for some extra length, and plan on using a scale to measure the force applied at a known distance.

2 ft --> 125 lbs needed.
3 ft --> 83.3 lbs needed

Am I missing something? Any other advice (I know one time torque on the nuts)?

TIA
