Drop arm torque

Post by RollyTG »

I am reinstalling my overhauled Burman steering box and need to know what torque is needed on the big drop arm nut. Can anybody point me in the right direction. My manuals don't mention it. Thanks.

Did not use a torque setting when I did mine just tightened it up until I felt comfortable and then I think on mine there was a tab washer which I bent over the nut which stops it ever coming loose.
