In that video, it looked like the mechanic greases the wide flat washer, which is the one part that is not supposed to receive any grease.

Regarding the Precision Industries 3/4” torque wrench (4D600F).. seems to be on back-order in many places currently. I note the 1” drive version (i.e. 5D600F) is readily available and quite a bit cheaper. Are there any issues in simply using a 1” > 3/4” adapter? Sometimes extensions can lead to some twist in the system under extreme torque and that might be a concern here with 440 ft-lbs. On the other hand, having the handle spaced another 1-1.5” away from the car body might give more clearance against accidental contact between wrench handle and body?

Yes, although he isn't greasing the surfaces it mates with, so it may be 6 of one, 1/2 a dozen of the other. My main disagreement is the trapezoidal threads, I believe it's important to have generous grease here. I tried light grease after having problems with too much, and measured removal forces of up to 840 ft-lbs! (i.e. call your heaviest friend to jump on the breaker bar!)
