What tool do I use to tighten this special nut? Instructions say torque to 95 ft-lbs.
I do NOT want to mess it up with a pipe wrench! I could not find a tool on Pelican's site or anywhere else. Is this it: Am I looking for a gland nut removal tool? |

I use a Hozan C205 Lockring Tool. Amazon, ebay, bike shop. Many guys use a pipe wrench. Most people don't end up using a torque wrench, you just make it pretty tight. Like wheel lug bolt tight.
