How come? #721991 05/09/06 02:54 AM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 344 Littleton, CO ScaldedDog OP Mudrunner ***EDIT - It was an FJ80 TRE *** According to Marlin's site, torque specs are 80-100lbs. I had my wrench set to 85, and it just kept turning. Finally stripped the nut. I had anti-sieze on the threads, which I'm now thinking was a mistake. The nut turned down far enough that the cotter pin holes were completely above the castle nut. I never thought I'd ask something so simple, but can someone tell me the *right* way to do this? I clearly haven't figured it out. Mark Last edited by ScaldedDog; 05/09/06 04:59 AM.
