<p>Yep! There is a guy in the Frozen North who runs Cats. I got
the idea from one of his postings. Since I got Autocad, it is so
easy to draw wrench patterns. I don't know about the torque, but
when I tightened the nut, I bent a tempered steel round and square
6"pry bar my Grandfather had from the 1800's. <br>

rebuilt one I made a wrench for the rod nut from an Autocad
drawing and cut it with the plasma cutter then put it inside a
8 ft piece of Drill stem. I used a 2 inch dia. shaft to hold
the rod end. Held the rod down with one loader and used
another to push the wrench down. </font></blockquote>

<p><font face="Arial">Grinning, because a dozen years ago I did
something similar to disassemble a backhoe cylinder. Burned a
wrench profile from 1/4" plate, welded on a long steel rod
handle, parked my Dingo skid steer atop the cylinder's butt
end, and used a small gear hoist to pull between the wrench
handle and a 5' pipe tong to unscrew the end cap. <br>
