Firmly tight - with the chisel! :oops: The direction of rotation will keep it from coming undone anyway.

With a 1 13/16 socket I can get it as tight as need be :wink: . Just wondered if there was a specific torque or is it like most of the rest guesswork :roll:

Just use a bit of common sense, it doesn't have to be incredibly tight as it is locked anyway! and yes use the spanner - that's why the nut is hexagon shaped!!
