I have the correct socket, but not a long enough breaker bar to get the axle nut off, nor do I have a torque wrench that goes high enough. Could get the loaner torque wrench from autozone or AJ! I have a good sized breaker bar, just need to attach a piece of pipe to it or somehting.

Why do you have to break it off and then re torque? If its not up to spec, it will be once you re torque.
