Need to replace my rear tire. The service manual calls for using a "axle nut torque adaptor" to tighten the axle. Is that necessary? Can I use an appropriate sized socket and torque wrench?
Refer:
NOTE
The Axle Nut Torque Adapter simplifies the belt adjustment
procedure by allowing the cone nut to be properly tightened
without having to remove the right side muffler. The tool also
can be used to loosen the cone nut, as well as rotate the weld
nut on the left side.

NUT TORQUE ADAPTER (Part No. HD-47925). Proceed
as follows:
a. Install torque adapter perpendicular to torque wrench.
See upper frame of Figure 2-6.
b. Insert tool up between rear wheel and muffler to
capture cone nut. For best clearance with muffler, be
sure torque adapter is on the outboard side. See lower
frame of Figure 2-6.
NOTE
Since any extension can act as a torque multiplier, the
torque wrench must be perpendicular to the torque ad
