If your pocket is deep enough, perhaps get a socket with a 3/4" drive and "T" bar to go with it as you do really have to lean on these to get the right torque. Having said that, I use a 1/2" bar with a lump of gas pipe to extend it. You will also need to make / get a bar which will block the hub from turning whilst you do the nut up. Various patterns exist. Now ignore everything I have said and read this instead !!!

I would go with Ian Moorcroft's advice on the BA7C site. An excess of brute force isn't necessary. I've only ever used a standard ring spanner on hub nuts - no extension bar - although I will admit to usually giving it one sharp tap with a 4lb hammer to finish. Both the RP and the PD have covered at least 40k since the hubs were last re-assembled with no need to re-tighten the nuts.
