    3500 lb. axle castle nut

    Does anyone really use a torque wrench to set the castle nut(50ft.lbs)? before you back it off and hand tighten it? If so, what size socket does that take? 1 1/2"? I think the 3500lb axle uses a 1" castle nut? Trailer is not here so I'm just trying to prepare. Thanks
