Maybe this Autozone tool? V70-XC70

$25!! For an occasional use tool? And then you need a 1 inch offset bit that gets attached to the torque wrench (similar to the 7/8 tool to get the O2 sensors off/on).

To set my large nut and star nut, I use muscle memory. I loosen a lug nut, set the wrench to 51 lbs and tighten the nut, and then take a 3/8 socket to the nut and tighten it 1 mm. Then I take a wrench or pliers to the star nut and apply the same pressure, hoping that will do.

It is a little harder to do the large nut because I also have to hold the strut piston in place.
