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? |

If I recall correctly you have to do it at ride height and just lean on it good and hard it has a lock washer so it's not going to come loose
