Works every time. If I don't have the driveshaft or Brakes hooked up in the car I have a fabricated 4 foot piece of 1" heavy wall tubing with the Driveshaft Yoke bolt pattern on it and use that to lock the trans/engine so I can tighten the bolt. 3 foot cheater on a 1/2" breaker Bar gets me in the ballpark then the industrial torque wrench is used for the final torque on the bolt.
