My torque wrench goes up way over 100lbs

why not use it to break loose the bolts - when i did it right after the air gun, it was a piece of cake. (it is the click stop type - not the one with the spring dial.) I think it's longer than the breaker bar.
As I've said here before, I had the experience on a 900 of a very large guy (in addition to me) being unable to break the bolts loose with a cross bar wrench (his face turned a very alarming color right before he gave up) , and the local gas station finally did it with a long flex bar.
Finally, "has to be told" doesn't work well when the guy who is about to pass or fail you on inspection refuses flat out. At least not in NYC.
