How do I tighten the nuts that hold the cylinder to the bottom end? There's no room for a small socket, or any kind or wrench. I stopped trying to use the larger nuts that came with my stainless bolt kit, but the stock ones, even tho smaller, still look impossible to tighten.

Any ideas? TIA!

I use this along with my 3/8" drive torque wrench

Where did you get this John? I just used a regular wrench...and used my forearm torque wrench to measure torque. :D

I used the same torque adapter pictured, but I had to grind it really thin for it to fit. Motion Pro makes this, they call it a extended torque adapter or something like it. Some were able to find very thin wrenches and weld them to sockets to be able to use a torque wrench. Snap-on and Mac make very thin wrenches for such things.

This looked cool, so I searched motion pro's website (saw it written on wrench).

I think I am going to be ordering this tool.

i used a reg wrench its just time consuming because of the lack of space i had to turn a 1/4 turn at a time. Not a great design by all means but it does work
