Default Torque 79 lbs in Wheel Well

I changed out my rotors and was wonder how people torque this nut to 79 lbs:

The wheel well is too enclosed to fit my 24 inch 1/2 torque wrench.

Does anybody have suggestions on a good short torque wrench to get to these hard reach areas?

Thanks

When I took that photo doing my rotors I just did "good-n-tight". Don't lean on it just snug it up and then give it a 1/5 a turn. I use a torque wrench on lug nuts and engine stuff.

Turn the wheel left/right to get more access. I've always torqued those with no issue.
