So I can't figure out how to get a 27mm socket/torque wrench on this nut. The brake shield fastening feature is in the way with only 2" of clearance.
Do I have to cut the socket to fit or is there one I can purchase? Or does one just use an open ended wrench and approximate the torque?  |

You can buy a 1/2" drive crows foot that will work, or save $100 and just make sure it's tight

It makes more of a difference with a longer extension and a short torque wrench. |
