Hydraulic torque wrench is the way to go but I think you need some more vise-grip C clamps. Tom have you ever used chocky bars for wear protection?

Now that is just flagrant cheating. I have to do them with a pipe wrench while pinned to a drawbar. OK, so sometimes I use a 30 ton excavator to break the nut loose. I keep a white lab coat in the pickup so it's legal.

Love your welding table, the top looks like 1" plate? I built a small roll around table using 1/2" plate - 20 pounds per square foot.

Got to get one of those white lab coats to keep in my service truck just in case.

Could never afford the cleaning service to have a White Lab Coat!! Kept them TOO Dirty!

Looking at this again, is your table stainless or just cold rolled steel?

I like the Feterl body, they built it to my drawings I know they redesigned their bodies but I am sure they are still quality.

Nothing new, just doing it wherever the machinery is.
