When you tighten them up you most probably won`t need the scaffold bar if you have a decent torque wrench, that torque isn`t as massive as you think to do up,, it is to loosen because it`s been on so long. Try and get a torque wrench on it or use your body weight at the appropriate place on the bar which is easy enough to work out with a little basic maths and is surprisingly accurate (funny that :lol: ) If you tighten them up with a six foot bar with no real idea of how tight you are doing them, you`d be surprised at the torque that can be achieved like this. To loosen a very tight highly torqued nut that`s been set for a while, you may have to apply five to ten times the original amount of torque to loosen it.
