Did a smack and line up on a bug once.  Havent done it since.  Stripped out
my nice new drum in a week.

If I don�t have my big torque wrench with me I have my 24 inch breaker.  My
scrawny self standing on the end gives about 280 and then a little jump to
kick it over a little more.  Then I try to line up the cotter key.

Remember that sanity is optional.
