Rear shock mount reinstall question
I just tackled the rear shocks and springs. Upon reassembling the new Bilstein shock to the upper mount, I did not have access to the tools to be able to torque the locking nut to the 20-24 ft lb per the FSM. Instead I had an allen wrench and offset box head wrench to hand tighten it as much as I could.
What's the consensus on how much torque can be applied by hand, and how would I even go about torqing to the specs with the way it designed?

I know the locking nut sits on top of the washer that came with the new shocks, which sits on top of the OEM mount package.
