Front Suspension Bushing Install 200 All

posted by  someone claiming to be John (Turbo, 245 & 940) on  Tue May 2 05:42 CST 2000 [RELATED]

This weekend I installed lower front supension arms w/new bushings on my 245. Repair manuals - as well as some discussions here - suggest installing the front A arm bolt and the nut for the large rear bushing w/o tightening to final torque. They say to do this after spring is loaded, or risk tearing up the new bushings. So my problem is getting a torque wrench into position inside the small opening in that rear bushing frame bracket to torque that 19mm nut to 40 ft-#s. I can't even fit a 19mm socket and a small breaker bar in there. I had even timed R&Ring a bad header pipe for extra clearance during this project!! Has anyone figured a way to do this?
