/ How the heck do you guys torque a cylinder nut to 600 ft lb? Rebuilding Bobcat combo bucket cylinder.

What? But what if the thing falls apart because it was off 1 ft lb in 600?NO!!! We could also avoid a discussion about the anality of absolute torque values.
This is an application where you don't have to be dead nuts accurate. RickB's method will be fine.150 lbs on a 4' bar. Really not that difficult if you have a 3/4 drive socket set.
The bush hog nuts are "torqued" at 450 ft lb. I just use a guesstimated 80 # push on a 6 ft piece of pipe places over my 3/4 inch socket handle. A 600 ft lb value could be obtained with a 100 # estimated push. Don't think you have to be that accurate for these kinds of torques.I am putting new seals in and apparently I need to get the bottom nut to 600 ft lb. I do not have that kind of torque wrench. How do most people achieve this? Thanks.
Typical torque values are for clean dry (unlubricated) threads.Who uses torque for unlubricated surfaces
