It sounds like you are doing the rear axle bolt on a 911. When I tightened mine I used a 3 foot bar. I marked the spot that was exactly 3 feet from the center point and pressed down while standing on a bathroom scale. I pressed down until the scale showed 86 lbs less than my normal weight.
My math was 86 lbs at 3 feet = 258. The tough part is to keep the pressure so even the scale does not bounce around.
I bought a cheap Chinese made bar that is a 1 inch drive for 30 bucks. The socket cost me more than that.
I am not an engineer but I slept at Holiday Inn once.
