Is there any way I can tighten my crankshaft pulley without a torquemeter?

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on August 3, 2021

My crankshaft pulley requires 130 nm (95 lb-ft) of tightening torque. I have a torque meter but it only supports up to 80 nm. I can’t afford to buy a separate torque meter just for crankshaft pulley because it is extremely expensive in my area. Is there any way I can apply the same amount of torque and prevent over-tightening? I was thinking about using a 2 meter metal rod and applying 65 nm of torque to it. 65 x 2 = 130 nm.
However, I don’t know how to exert such a force on a metal rod.

Got a set of hanging scales and a longer bar? 10 foot bar and 9.5lb on the scale... etc

A basic application of force * distance.
