Foot pounds or inch pounds? It has been so long since my last rebuild I can’t remember. I guess I am due since I can’t remember.

It's 48 in/lbs so, 4 foot lbs.

Basically snug.

Discovered I have a leak from my rear heater hoses. No one that comes to mind has the correct formed hose for the delete but I found a 90 degree formed hose from Gates that I can use and then have some other hoses around the house for the other side. Not looking forward to making the mess with the coolant.

I was talking to him @NLXTACY via text earlier today and he has some inbound from the mother land (Japan) but until it reaches Portland he can't give me an ETA and this is my daily so I need to get it back up and running. Luckily for me the wife goes out of town for 10 days so I can use her car while I work on it.

Yes he is currently out of stock too, he was the first place I checked as he is local to me.

Well, after 13 years of ownership of the Big Black Money Pit, I finally have a front passenger seat that moves back and forth.

I remember when I started wheeling in 2002ish 35's on my 74 bronco were massive to me. I put 315's on the 80 and I'm not impressed lol.

Knuckle rebuild...don't have a small enough torque wrench for the 4 ft/lbs on this backing plate.I know it's not very tight but should it tighten down enough for there to not be a gap?

I actually bought an in/lb torque wrench but ended up just using a 1/4in ratchet to tighten about a 1/4 to 1/2 past finger tight.
