But a little lube on the threads and spin it down…it went this far by hand!

Now the tricky part…torqueing this sucker to 181-195 ft-lbs per the manual. I guess you can go different routes with this. What I did was buy a crows foot – 1-9/16” was the closest I could find. You kind of have to drive it down on the nut a little. But what happens when torqueing is the crows foot expanded and slipped. Rather than trying to find/construct another tool, I simply tack welded a bar across the crows foot while it was over the nut.


Now torque her up! I had to even reinforce my support bar for this! I took her to the max torque.


We can crimp now or go back to the last two shift arms. I’m just going to show the crimping now even though I did the arms first…doesn’t matter.
Crimp your nuts in two places for both the countershaft and main shaft
