torquing the crank bolt

You are using 5th gear right? If you can't get the E-brake to hold the drivetrain still, your next option would be to have a helper come and stand on the brake pedal while you do the final torque.

Good luck with it...

that still didnt work initially, so i set the torque wrench at 90, then 100, then 110 and finally 120. i guess i didnt have enough room to get to 120 in one step.

You're an adventurous soul my friend! What's the weather like at 6:00am where you are? Here in Houston, it'd already be about 78f. :-(
