torqueing the brake caliper bolts

how did you guys torque the bolts to 98ft/lbs? I couldnt get my torque wrench or impact gun to fit inside the space to do it had to use a hammer and wrench to tighten it really hard..

turn the wheel to the left or right to get the torque wrench in there. 98lbs does seem like a lot
