They're expensive for a single socket but I've seen high mass sockets specifically for those nuts. I zipped mine off with an impact and a Pittsburgh socket, but it was from a deep set so maybe that extra mass helped.
For the holder I recommend a breaker bar long enough that it pins itself against the frame or ground while torquing. Might also make turning the nut easier for your inspection.
Good luck with it. It's a fun project I'm happy not to do again for a while :dogelaugh:

@__hetz Thank you for the advice! It’s fun to learn new things. I’ll try again on my next weekday off in a few weeks.
