Im trying to torque my dana 60 ring gear bolts and the whole assembly is rotating. Ive tried the vice, press and using sockets on the bolt heads with a bar across to try to counter act the spin. Any suggestions ?

Put the axle in a vise and drop the carrier on it
Put a long handle ratchet and socket on the pinion set to hold it from turning.
Or install the ujoint straps and put a pry bar thru them.

So two things, if the outside if the ARB case won't fit in your vice, you may have to have someone hold it or used a seatbelt strap type wrench to hold it
I usually put the handle of the torque wrench across the center of the carrier, seems to fight you less that way

Building!
In a vice lightly.
Then use a pry bar against a bolt. Torque away.
It is tricky to do this by yourself but it is possible.
