KF Torque Specs
« on: January 18, 2015, 01:02:45 PM »
So throughout my use of the 1951 KF Service Manual I have noticed a SERIOUS lack of torque specs on a lot of things. Is there somewhere that contains this information? Case in point, I'm about to reconnect my tie rods to the idler lever and there are NO specs for the castle nuts. What did KF servicemen use for torque specs?

Just found the answer to my own question. I found the service standards manual which contains torque values. Geeze.....wish I had known this existed earlier.  :P

Actually the shop manual has most of the torque data, but it is for the most part embedded in other sections. When describing how to install a part, it generally specifies how tight, if that is an issue.
