Pitman Arm Torque Question

[daveh]

Hey guys,

I'm installing my new Pitman Arm on my new Firm Feel box.  The only socket I have big enough to fit is from my 3/4" socket set which I don't have a 3/4" torque wrench. 

I have a little anti-seize on the threads and I'm not sure how much to tighten the nut?  My 1/2" torque wrench only goes to 150lbs even if I could use it.  Do I just tighten it until I can't tighten it any longer and call it a day?  Thanks for your help.

I found a spec of 175 , most 1/2 torque wrenches go higher than 150 & you will need an adapter

Add a 2-3' pipe on your 1/2 rachet for leverage and pull!
It'll be good.

That what I figured I would do.  Thanks for the confirmation.

They make 3/4 to 1/2 drive adapters.  Buy it torque to your wrenches max spec. Now you know at lease the minimum you have. Then whip out the big ol extension for more.
