Hey all,
Im putting on a Red Head steering box this weekend. Does anyone out there know the torque spec's for the frame mounting bolts and the pinch bolt on the the bottom of the steering column? Any other do's or dont's would be great.

 

From my 2005 manual:

1. Install the coupler (2) to the steering gear (3).

2. Install the coupler (3) to the intermediate shaft (2).

NOTE: New pinch bolts must be used for reinstallation.
3. Install the lower pinch bolt (3) and tighten to 28 N·m (250 in. lbs.).

4. Install the upper pinch bolt (1) and tighten to 57 N·m (42 ft. lbs.).

 

Thanks kokalit..! Not to sound greedy, but do you have the specs for the 3 bolts that mount the box to the frame?

 

INSTALLATION
1. Position the steering gear (1) the frame rail and
install the three mounting bolts (2). Tighten the
mounting bolts to 196 N·m (145 ft. lbs.).

2. Align steering coupler (1) on gear shaft (2). Install
pinch bolt and tighten to 49 N·m (36 ft. lbs.) torque.

 

How about the steering gearbox to bracket bolts?
