rynosback, they are heavy plastic and the standard ones from Kodiak are clear to see the oil level in the hubs. These are white to let you know you have a greased hub. They torque to 20-30 ft/lbs so they are not too delicate but will NOT take 70 or 80 ft/lbs....

It will take a 2 3/16 socket and I had to use a 3/4 drive socket with 2 step downs to get to 3/8 where I could use a little 3/8 torque wrench and yes, I torqued those puppies to 25 ft/lbs to prevent another popped off flange. Engineers have specs for a reason.
I agree completely. That is why I have a 1/2 inch and 3/8 inch torque wrenches. WOW 2 3/16 socket... That is one large socket. Where did you get the torque specs from? Is it a nylon locking piece?
