Ron,

Here's the way I know most folks try to do it. Divide 450ft-lbs by 215lbs and you get about 2.09 feet which is about 2 feet - 1 inch. Get a cheater bar (pipe that fits around you socket wrench or large crescent wrench handle). Measure 2'1" from the center of the socket up the pipe and that is where you put the center of your arm and gently load the cheater bar by lifting your weight off the ground. Be careful that the socket is on the nut well. Could have a helper push on the socket while attempting this. If you had a 4.5 foot cheater bar load 100 pounds at that point (a little safer).

Dont use the floor jack unless you have a scale or load cell to show the load cause if you strip the threads you'll have a bad day.
