I was gonna say, I feel like I would remember having to spend $50 each on em!
Luckily we had a 350ft lb torque wrench laying around in the shop at work. I never thought about it - do any of the rent a tool programs have a torque multiplier? If so you could throw one of those on a torque wrench.

Take the assembly to a shop and have them torque it?
