Default Rear axle nut tsb - diy

Whats up everyone
Im wondering if any of you have done this DIY ?

https://www.s2ki.com/s2000/topic/929...e-nut-tsb-diy/

If so can you help me do this.
I dont have the tools ( the big ass ratchet or torque wrench)
Seems easy enough -minus not having the approriate tools.

my opinion unless the nut is loose i would not mess with it. It is inevitable that the driverside rear bearing will give up most do. My axle nut kept coming loose from a failing bearing, and i ended up breaking the whole end off the axle by torquing the nut too many times.

Are you serious? WTF?? I spent $20 on a 36mm socket just to do the axle nut TSB today!! OMFG
I guess it's worth it though since it got rid of the constant clicking.
