Setting up Equalizer 10K 4pt
If it is like the 14k I have, the socket will be required. [ATTACH]131383
The nut is completely recessed.

I am 99% sure it is, but mine is stowed away right now.
EDIT: Do like I did, went to the local trailer joint and gave them a few buck to tighten it up.

I just finished torquing mine down this past weekend. Yes, you need the socket. The nut is in the recessed area and won't accommodate a wrench.

I simply wedged the handle end of a large crescent wrench in between the nut and the head. Worked great.

Northern tool for the socket, harbor freight for the breaker bar. Less than $10 each.

Make sure you get a thin walled socket...not much space in there.

X2 - unless you've got a giant torque wrench to go with it! (Of course, this assumes the RV place has a giant torque wrench, too! )
The torque wrench will set you back about $400!

Torque = force (or weight) x distance. Using a breaker bar and a pipe extension you should be able to figure out how to torque it to the correct amount. For example, a 200# person standing on the pipe extension at 2 ft from the socket = 200lbs. x 2ft. = 400 lb-ft.

Just don't blame me if you fall off the pipe extension and hurt yourself!
