I use a 30" breaker bar to tighten the halfshaft nuts. On one occasion, just out of curiosity, I put my 3/4" drive torque wrench on an already tightened nut. I had the dial up to 100 lb ft without any movement; just as well as I had lined up the split pin hole already 
.
As said, the prime thing is a good fit between the shaft and hub, it's worth spending a bit of time lapping the hub to the shaft if engineers blue or chrome yellow doesn't show a decent contact area. I also use an equivalent goop to Loctite 641 on the shaft to hub joint, and they've always come apart OK with the correct persuasion.
