4020 Steering Gear Arm to Steering Motor Torque Applicat

mtb34 · Apr 14, 2023

Anyone have any tips on how to torque the screws to 300 ft/lb on the steering gear arm?

Front end is removed and the motor turns when applying torque.

If I re-install the front end and tie rods and put it on the ground will there be enough weight to stop the motor from turning?

The axle housing interferes with getting a socket on all screws ... maybe I have to turn the steering gear arm to get at each screw then lower back to ground to torque?

Appreciate any info here.

Thanks.

It won't keep turning just start tightening it to the arm stops, then torque it.

Thanks for that.

I was concerned about pinning that steering motor to one side and damaging it with 300 ft/lbs.

I will give it a go this weekend and report back.
