The factory specs on the lock nut torque is 10 ft lbs.
That's just a little tighter than snug.

o my bad...i didnt even realize it said it on the service manual. Will a socket fit on that because i only have a torque wrench that fits rachet sockets. ( are there other types?...i dunno?)

It would be a PIA to get a torque wrench in there, I just go by feel.

But yes there are open end wrenches that will fit on a torque wrench, they're called crows foot wrenches.
