i take it you put in new bearings? if so then yeah torque might be best if possible. i always do it like an older style wheel bearing. tighten it down tight. back it off loose again, tighten it back down good and back off just a bit make sure there is no drag and no freeplay. good to go.
that or yo buy yourself a lage cheap socket from sears and grind away till you get some tabs that will hook up on the nut and make your own tool
