Torque Setting for Steering Shaft Bolt?
I need the service manual torque setting for the forward bolt on the steering shaft bolt where it joins the steering coupler. I think it is bolt number 24. Anyone got a service manual willing to look this up for me? I removed it to install the driver's side FLP Header. Thanks in advance! :)

Mark,
I think you are refering to the lower coupling retaining bolt on the intermediate steering shaft. It is where the lower clamp slides on to the steering gear shaft. The torque spec is 25 lb ft. Good luck.

Make sure to use loctite, and torque it to 25 ft-lbs (34 N-m)
