Thanks Ted.....to you and Michael and Dennis and again.....Russ and Jim....I so appreciate all your helpful input. The mechanic loaned me his 250 lb torque wrench, along with extensions and yes...a deep socket, so I think I am loaded up. Dennis .... thank you for clarifying the 10%....sure sounds much better.
Now ready to go forward.....and thanks again....all.

As long as you have an extension from the torque wrench to the socket that is long enough to get the torque wrench above the cabin sole, it shouldn't be a problem. I check mine every year without the help of a cheater bar or jack and I'm not a particularly strong person. 62 yrs. old, 5'-11" & 185 lbs.and have never seen the inside of a gym. If you are having a problem, a helping hand from a friend will make it much simpler than a jack. Loosing the nuts is not a problem. Loosen one at a time.
