the reason the manual says to remove muffler is for access to the axle, there is a 36 mm wrench available which can slip up there and make adjustment easy- but you still need a 36 mm socket to torque--- sears has them for about $10.
That's all you need if you pull the muffler.

The flat wrench sixguns suggests is great. My struggle has been keeping the fixed nut from rotating when applying the final torque. If it moves, the adjusted deflection is lost. Usually my wife is my able assistant, using a breaker bar and 36 mm socket on the fixed but. Been thinking about getting "3d hand" nut locker like Jims sells, but $54 is ridiculous. See

One thing I have learned with both bicycles and motorcycles is get a good inch pound and foot pound torque wrench and use them. I run heavy equipment for a living and the "tighten it as hard as you can" rule is the standard. Bicycles and motorcycles don't stand up to these rules very well. If you don't strip the threads, it'll be too loose.
