Do you guys torque these some how? because the front two nuts on ESR cylinder have to be tightened by an end-wrench because the jug wraps around the stud, and i just wasnt sure if you guys torque theses or just get em tight...

clutch22,

I torque mine with my calibrated elbow,lol. Just get them as tight as possible, I bought an extra long wrench for these as those front two are tight access. recheck them often, especially if you are running a spacer plate. Gutentite is what you want!!:D Roost on!!

I grinded down a motion pro torque adapter till it was small enough to fit in that space.

Im guessing its a ESR jug cuz on stock you can get a 10'' extension and wiggle it in there to get them.

And I would torque them not just "Get them tight"

all the pro-x jugs are like this, esr isn't the only one who uses them. My 2 lrd prorted pro-x's are the same way. I always use a torque adpater on the base nuts and torque them to 35 lb/ft. Do what I posted, it works. It feels alot better to grind on a $7 wrench than a snap-on, mac, or craftsman wrench anyday of the week.
