turns out it is not just rubber. after scraping away at the rubber, I find steel underneath.
It looks like, even if I somehow got a socket connected, that there just would not be enough room to swing it. As the lady in the video says, "you are never going to get a torque wrench in there". The difference is, that her nuts were accessible, while mine are not (or one of mine is not).How much space do you need? Get a cheap one and grind it to fit?
Well, I tried this tool, and so far I am not able to get it to press down far enough to grip onto the nut. It seems the walls of the tool are too thick and interfere with the hard rubber, and it's hard to get any leverage back up under there to "force" it down onto the nut... The tool needs to have skinny walls like a socket...Just ordered this to try. If it doesn't work will return.
