Just get you a big ole crescent wrench or open end from Harbor Freight and go to town. I say HF in this instance because they will rarely be used for someone that isn't constantly doing installs.

^That's what I use. Never had one come loose yet. The two footer. I've had joints come out though. You buy a Wrangler and all of a sudden you need monster sizes of every tool you already have. It's like having a tractor I would imagine.

I don't like using a regular crescent wrench because of the slop. They don't seem to grab the not tight rounding off the edges or slipping.

I was asking about the jig, but I'm on the same page- having that crescent slip is tough. They don't fit well on the track bar nuts either.

I made the jig. Goody used a jig similar to stock mounting points. This means he had to use spacers to prevent the joint from twisting.

Now I'm wondering if I tighten them enough. I don't kill myself on it. Whatever a 180 pound guy at 2 feet comes out to. Maybe 200 lbs. with the extra foot of leverage.
