Use a 5/8" crows foot on your torque wrench or just estimate the torque with a normal open end wrench. If your wrench is a foot long, pull 35-39 pounds. If your wrench is 6" long, pull 70-78 pounds. Not a critical deal.

Crows foot? Eh?
How important is it to have it torqued as opposed to just tighted down? I've run into torque specs in the past that are absolutely ridiculous. Leading to more than one heli-coil in the oil pan on an old motorcycle... |

Without getting into a torque debate, I like the wrench I have. It is a one tooth spanner with no handle, just a small extension with a hole for a breaker bar/torque wrench. Can't remember where I got it now unfortunately. It's about the size of your pointing finger when curled, and quite thick/HD.

I've never used a wrench to attach the buffer tube, I've always only hand tightened it. Never had a problem either.

I was looking at the assembly instructions last night and was going to ask exactly the same question.

By hand with a crescent wrench, and one drop of purple Locktite ("service removable").
Ditto with CAR tubes, but using the little CAR wrench. |
