Last thing I wanted was to break a torx bit inside or damage the torx hole. It's definitely tight and the top hat is bottomed out on the rubber that sits on top of the adjustment dial. Since the the 18mm nut is pinch style, I don't think it's going anywhere. Maybe others have insight on how they torqued this on the MPC?
I literally had this exact same problem, broke my bit trying to get it torqued, and just left it. I wish someone would chime in on how this is supposed to be done correctly, since it seems impossible to get it to the correct torque with normal tools.
