It would be far better to anti-seize the threads and mating surfaces, whack it a few times to tighten, then safety wire it on. Getting it off is much simpler with a lead hammer than boogering it up with that socket thing.

I'll have to admit that the big pipe thingy that patrickt showed us looks much better than the 3/4" impact wrench though. At least with that you would be able to tell when you've put too much torque on the spinner.

Lead hammers have worked just fine for years. Used a small one on my MG in the 60's.
