Replacing struts- a few lessons (long) 200

posted by  someone claiming to be joseph morton on  Tue Feb 13 01:59 CST 2007 [RELATED]

Yeah man, neither strut nut is spec'd in the green book. That could be on account of the wild variations folx would come up with trying to measure torque against a less than solid counterhold (top nut) and use of the spanner (gland nut). I agree with your range. 15-115. Fifteen is enough to make the rod one with the bearing's inner race - the locknut keeps it there - and 115 should be under what it would take to crush and distort the bearing.
