stupid questions on top end

Got all the stuff for a top end. How does everyone torque the cylinder nuts? Looks like kind of a tight fit to get a socket and torque wrench on these.
Thanks for everyone's help

I welded about a 2 inch piece of a 12 point 12mm box wrench to an old 3/8" drive socket. I highly recommend the 12 point for this low torque application. Make sure the box wrench is 90 degrees to the torque wrench at all times. The service manual specifies 18 ft. lbs. I actually did 18 1/2 ft. lbs. but that's just me. I don't recommend this.
