YES Easy does it or the stud will break off--snug it good with a short wrench--never has one come loose but lots break off from Gorilla mechanics

you have to have two hands and two wrenches in there to hold it in place while you turn the lock nut.
So you just "guess" as to the torque? it's supposed to be 30ft-lbs per the service manual, is it not that important?

Ive never torqued the lock nut either.The square sockets are avaliable from Sears, Snapon etc.I have a few in the garage as my 58 Harley also uses the square drive to adjust the rear brake shoes.Rocky
