If the engine in question is anything like the XN6 do the following:
1. Put socket (without ratchet attached to it) on crank nut.
2. Place ratchet at rear of socket and poke square male end into
female end of socket.
The torque for the 35mm XN6 nut is, I believe, 100+ ft. lbs. Once you
have the socket and ratchet installed on the nut you can turn it back
and forth easily without damaging the radiator, shroud, etc. If the
engine is similar to the XN6 you should be able to install the socket
and ratchet in about 10 seconds.
