Nah, you don't need to take it off Matti, the Bodsys Bible says to use the nut to turn the wheel assembly to get the setting correct.

Yes, mines a Junes 2016 build and the size is 36mm as well. Checked it this afternoon so off to the shops to spend yet more money. I already have a torque wrench so I'll be able to do the job right.

I never used a 36mm socket and torque wrench - I used the breaker bar lodged between two studs to turn the wheel. Once i had adjusted the drum shoe so that I couldn't turn the wheel with the breaker bar, i then backed off 8 clicks.

No need to spend more money!

Money already spent and a mere pittance compared to what the vehicle cost. I've never bothered with a torque wrench before but thought I'd do the right thing here as I didn't want to possibly damage the stud threads.

Until you burr the thread on a stud or it snaps!

I was like you once, I can make do, now I add tools to the collection and find the tasks so much easier.
