I Figured that was giong to be a tough one.  I have broke three 1/2in SNAP ON braker bars just trying to set up the 30 or more D30's, D35's & D44's in all the 98 to 02 ZJ,WJ & XJ jeeps that Dana Corp screwed up. Most under warrentee of corse. Most had less than 15k on them. Don't miss that at all.  Love workin on Hondas. Much less Bull work.

Glad to hear you got it all set up.  Just supprised that the tork miltiplyer would not work for you. I have never used one but hear there very impressive.  When going to Training at Chrylser for Diff set up they did not recomend the Tork multiplyer because there so decevingly powerfull that it can stripp the treads on the pinion or even snap the pinion clean in 2.

It worked, and worked great.  When I got to 400 ft/lbs and I still had not even started to fully seat the bearing let alone collapse the crush sleeve, I just decided I'd do it the way the write up recommended vice hurting myself even more (stupid back).  We used it with the final set up too.  Looking back at it I don't see any other way you'd do this axle without pressing it to start it out.  It reminded me of torquing the cylinder head on an industrial semi truck diesel.  When I did that job I was using about a 4-5 foot long 1" drive Snap On torque wrench.  It really is some serious torque to get this done.
