Reply to "Really inexpensive rear axle socket removal tool"

The tool seems to hold torque without a problem. Here you see it in the press. Along with the setup in this picture, I am using a floor jack handle as an extension to the breaker bar. The tool is holding steady and it looks like my ½” breaker bar will fail before the tool breaks.

I am wondering if sufficient torque has been applied to the axle nut at this point. The breaker bar along with the extension have an accumulated length of 48 inches. What do you guys think? Does this suffice?
