I had to do this job a few years ago and found that the hydraulic press was useless.

I ended up using an all-thread bar, 2 nuts that threaded onto the bar and 2 flat plates with holes in them to place either side of the torque rod, then lubed it all up with the supplied silicone grease and tightened it together.
