I used a socket designed for this application (I don’t believe GC provides information on how to tighten this but the socket is designed for just this).
Though, I’m having a hard time understanding the mechanism of torquing this nut and the lack of lubrication of the bearing that is believed to be the cause for the sound. How are these two related? I must not understand fully
.
Actual side of socket might differ but this is the design: https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-362739-schwaben-strut-nut-socket-18mm/?gclid=CjwKCAjwkJj6BRA-EiwA0ZVPVuPKiXgIc_3_BitiBA5NwvyMfnzIVUzdmcG65Ez6Vd aXCMXEID8GEBoClUUQAvD_BwE
