The elusive thin-walled 13mm socket

Hi everyone. Did some searches and found this 1/4" socket that has an OD 17.1 which should fit based on the measurement done in post #21. Link on Amazon showing the OD, sizes.

I ground down the 13mm socket from my truck's toolbag (Toyota doesn't use 13mm fasteners) on my bench grinder and it was good enough to do my shock install, but I later developed some front end clunking and went back to re-tighten and broke the socket. Ordering the Redwood socket now

Anybody know the torque spec for the 3 13mm nuts? How about for the top nut on the shock? I've found in order to keep the shock shaft from turning, I had to wrap my vice grip in electrical tape and hold it through the spring.

Just finished my MPP Sport Coilovers install on a M3P. Confirmed that the 13mm socket linked above ($12 shipped) works without issues. Was able to uninstall/reinstall.
