How do I measure the torque when tightening a bolt?

I'm going to DIY replace the rear differential fluid in my 2000 A4. All the guides I read give a torque amount for when tightening a nut or bolt.

How do I measure the amount of torque when fastening a bolt?

Torque wrench/bar. There's really no other way to check the amount of torque you're putting on the bolts. It might be easier/safer/cheaper in the long run to just take it to an audi specialist to do it
