I used to use breaker bar to loosen the nut. Now, I just set my torque wrench at the highest setting and make sure the torque wrench don't click when I loosen the nut. How many of you think you are actually have good enough reaction that you stopped right after it clicks? Most people actually added about 4ft-lbs more than they intended.Anyway, it is actually better to overtighten the nut than undertightened it. On race cars, we were instructed to tighten it at 90 lb-ft which is 10 ft-lb more than street cars (same car) with same stud size.
