Torque specs for radius arm to I-beam

Post by Generalee0527 »

Finally getting new spindles in place w/ new poly bushings. I haven't found a torque spec for the long bolt that holds front of radius arm to the I-beam. I know they were a bear to remove so I was wondering if there was a reference I could use? Also the pivot bolts? I historically tightened everything till I couldn't tighten any more but that is not always correct as I am getting years on my arms and shoulders. I don't always trust my battery powered impact gu although Makita has built a good one. It will take all 4 wheels off and back on with the small 18v battery. But I always verify.
