Firmly tight - with the chisel!

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

. Just wondered if there was a specific torque or is it like most of the rest guesswork

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!!
