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.

Was that from Goody? The pic looks familiar and I've got a few of these that I've been asked to double-check.
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.

The only arms I tightened on the jeep,
rear uppers. I used pieces of metal to keep the joints centered |

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. :dontknow2: |
Also you can torque stripe them after tightening. Then you can just glance at them for a quick and easy way to check to make sure nothing is loose.
