I haven’t had to do out Td5 one yet, but I’d be pretty confident that most who have done the job haven’t used a torque wrench.
A quick calc - 460Nm comes out around 31kg at 1.5m
Grab a bit of medium wall pipe 1.5 m long, slide it over your breaker bar and apply 31kg to the end of it (I normally use a spring balance or “fish scale” for this sort of thing).
