Ok, so I'm putting in new (used) springs... and I looked into the FSM and it says that the springs (and shackle) should be torqued to the frame 118ft lbs or so while my torque wrench only goes to 100... so I torqued it to 100.... should I borrow a bigger one? I really don't wanna break of that nut inside.
Also the shackle should be 80.... any tricks to torquing it while it's installed? I made it easy on myself and just tightened it so that the install of the springs back was a snap
(btw, an additional trick was to sharpen the tips of the bolts... it made it easy to go into the thread!!!!)
