Thanks, starting this little project today, in a couple of hours!

When I first took apart the Drive Shaft I had no 46mm Wrench and used a Plumbing type Chain Wrench.
Later I went to a cheapie Tool Store and bought a 1-13/16" combination Wrench for $15 and I used that to tighten it.
However, I had intended to buy a Crows Foot as there is a specific Torqure on the Nut but I have not yet found one at a decent price.
If I had not bought the Combination Wrench I would have used the Chain Wrench to tighten the Nut.
Besides a Crows Foot type Wrench on eBay they sell Wrenches as in the Pic For ATV Axles. If you position the Wrench at a right angle to your Torque Wrench you can use it to Torque the Nut.
