You can get a less expensive torque wrench for the 33mm headed nuts,,,just 450-500ft lbs. with a tad of oil.
Most shops have dropped back to a 3/4” drive impact for those.
I still use my 1” on a small 3/8” line & can get it right on without excessive hammering. You can pick up a bottle jack pretty cheap & a couple 7-10 ton stands. On the new front axles/ they’ve tryed making bearing torque idiot proof,by adding a spacer between the inner/outer tapered bearings to prevent over torquing...
Really easy stuff,,,just a bit larger
