This one just makes it if you are still struggling. It just short of the recommended torque or you could do 200nm plus 180 degrees. I have two of the smaller Teng wrenches and they are nice.

I was thinking of getting one of these. If you can't borrow one I might be interested it buying it from you after you have used itNothelle S2 Avant

You only need a bit of maths and common sense. My 70kg weight on the end of a 600mm breaker bar ~ 400nm
F=MA
70 x 9.81 = 686n
x 0.60m = 412nm
Incidentally I’d say 200 + 180deg is a lot more than 400nm on this bolt.Panthero Coupé quattro 20vt

I've always used the 200Nm + 180 degrees, but have never managed to get the full 180 degrees even with a long length of scaffold bar. You can get 200Nm + 90 degrees and then it gets very tight. I've never had one work loose with this method and replace the bolt each time. You will require a 3/4" socket and breaker bar. 1/2" will shear easily doing this bolt up.91 Modded 3B

Why not get a number of people together to chip in and buy it ? And then just use it when you need it amongst themselves? Obviously you will need to pay postage whenever the next person wants to use it ? I'd be happy to contribute. I know on other forums where a guy rents out specialist tools with a full holding deposit.

My car was moving on the axle stands.. Never had one work loose..
I only managed 90 degrees after the 200nm (I weigh 70kg too) and it was ****ing tight. No need for any more IMO
David, I have a 27mm socket and 3/4 inch breaker bar if you want to borrow them...
