Yoke Nut

[W Head]

Can't seem to find the spects to tighten the yoke nut on the rear 3rd member of my 59. I looked thru 2 manuals and gives the torque lbs for everything else. I just can't remember (CRS has set in)

STEP 5.
Using a new crush collar or preload shim pack,
set the pinion rotating torque to 10-15 (used bearings)
20-25 (new bearings) inch pounds. For oval track
applications when not using a cooling pump, set at 16-
17 inch pounds on new bearings and 10 inch pounds
maximum on used bearings.

That means.....Tighten till it takes that much to spin it with an inch pound torque wrench.
