@ the OP.

As per Dougs' comment, get a 6 pt. socket. I use an impact style (black
colour) 6 pt.

Good tip on *deep* socket. Much better! No extension needed.

With wheel bolts torqued properly, I've only ever needed my (15"? 24"?) 1/2"
breaker bar. (torque value Sharpied inside hubcap) My torque wrench lives
next to breaker bar. Something I learned not long ago; keep the torque
wrench set to 0 when not in use.
