Socket for axle nut on F350 rear end, also torque setting?

Been doing the rear brakes on my F350 with the full floating rear (not sure if it's a Dana 60 or what?) but there is an axle nut that holds the hub/drum assembly on. It has 4 teeth like a 4WD nut but a 4wd socket doesn't fit, socket is about .25" too small diameter. I took it off with a srewdriver and a hammer but would like to put it on with a socket to torque wrench it. Also, any idea on the torque setting?
Thanks!
Ed

I posted on my old Jeep BBS, they run the full floaters cut down sometimes, and got a response.

Here's the tool to take the nut offhttp://www.toolking.com/performance/view.asp?ID=2484

And you torque it to "feel", just don't get it too tight.

On the Dana 80's you'll need to take this nut off to change the rear brakes. Sounds like most people on this bbs have fairly new trucks and don't have to deal with these nuisance items. Just thought I'd pass the info along.
