I have had some painful experience with a torque multiplier!  
Whether tightening or loosening, you should be wary of how much force you are 
applying to the fastener.   Fasteners or sockets can fragment.
I would recommend either some pretreatment with penetrating oil, and or 
heating/cooling.   Ease into it once you use the multiplier!
I broke off some very expensive bolts using a multiplier.
