I have a 140 with a long shackle too. I have had it for quite some time and I have long since picked it. I am not entire certain why this works for mine, but I basically put in the tension wrench, apply a little tension, put in my short hook and lift until I feel the second or third pin in set. I don't remember which it is since I haven't picked it in a while. Then I let off the tension slightly and as soon as I feel and hear the pin stack drop, I increase tension every so slightly and the plug begins to turn. I also noticed that out of all of my padlocks that I have and have opened, the 140's plug turns the most. It seems like the plug turns almost 90 degrees before popping the shackle.
