I spoke to my contact at Kodiak and they informed me that a socket should not be used when removing or installing the grease cap like part # KPCAP as this would likely cause damage to the polycarbonate material used in it's construction. If the cap was over tightened then you can use a crescent wrench to loose it. The cap should then only be hand tightened. The same holds true for part # RG04-230.
