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?  |

Two of the most important tools I own is my finely tuned torque arm and my mark 1 eyeball.
