F10 strut nut socket recommendations

I'm going to attempt ACS springs install this weekend. Any recommendations on a strut nut socket or a technique?

Is it a 18mm? What is the torque spec for the strut nut?

The previous torque stated are incorrect.

Here are the torque specs based on https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...truts/1LHsblhj

Wheel bolts - 140Nm (103 ft-lb)

Front springs:
Tie rod bolt at strut - 45 Nm (33 ft-lb)
Upper control arm to swivel bearing - 56 Nm (41 ft-lb)
Bottom strut (1 bolt) - 90 Nm (66 ft-lb)
Top strut (3 bolts) - 28 Nm (21 ft-lb)
Spring strut to support bearing - 34 Nm (25 ft-lb)

Rear springs:
Top strut (3 bolts) - 28 Nm (21 ft-lb)
Bottom strut (1 bolt) - 250 Nm (184 ft-lb)
Spring strut to support bearing - 27 Nm (20 ft-lb)
