I broke my 1/2" breaker bar on this job so I bought a 3/4" bar and 1 3/16" socket. With a piece of roll cage tubing over the breaker bar I stood on it at least 2 feet from the nut.

They are torqued to 450 pounds, and with a little corrosion, it may take 600 or 700 pounds to break them loose. I'm afraid that if you do this on jackstands, you might knock the car off of the stands and onto yourself. Also with the car on jackstands I do not think you will be able to hold the axle still, and with what you have rigged, you could hurt yourself.

Factory spec is 217-253 ft-lbs according to the Hanes Manual I have.
I had no trouble with the setup I used. Before this I have never had significant trouble using my 1/2" breaker, and I've never broken a 1/2" breaker bar prior to this job.
