Anyone know what the torque specs are on the drag link/tie rod ends? These are the castilated nuts w/cotter pin.
Also, read on here about seating wheel bearings at 20 foot pounds and then backing off to 20 inch pounds on spindle nut. What if I only have torque wrench that reads footpounds (antique beam style)??
I'm getting close guys, BEAR with me and I'll quit being such a damn pest and be more assistance! Banjo.
Urgent torque specs, trying to finish today!

Then drive it for 20-30 miles, and lift the front end and check for play in the spindle assembly, and looseness of the spindle nut.
