I have done mine in a vice. Pretty much give it all I can do. It works. I bought a set from Speedway and the tension was all over the place. Research showed they need to turn at a minimum of 60 inch-lbs, 5 ft-lbs, so I now test each one and squeeze when needed before installation, and Big job I'm gonna use my paint pen next time!
