Randy,

Thanks for keeping me on the right path! I'm not sure where I got that "100 Ft.Lbs" thought. Looked at that thread I linked to on pg. 3 of this thread and found the following:

Torque the nut to 217-253 ft/lbs for SCs and prior and install a cotter pin that fits snugly. Torque Carrera nut to 333 ft/lbs.

Also, just so it's posted here, the shock bolt is torqued to 90 Ft. Lbs.

Don't I feel stupid!!!

Guess I'll swing by my trusty Home Depot at lunch today and see what they have in the way of breaker bars. Probably pick up a few more socketss and a 5 ft. section of pipe while I'm there too.

I will get this finished....I swear I will!

RoninLB, Warren, thanks for the advice!!!

Randy
