741 - crush sleeve and shims?

"You may also be getting that tight reading because sitting on the shelf all these years the oil drained away from the bearings. So squirt some oil in to those rollers and see if that doesn't change your preload."

thanks, Yeah, I did consider that as a big factor. I only have 'click' style torque wrenches too, never liked the ones with the gauge and the pointer, but they are needed really, for times like this. I will have to frigg around with the torque settings so I can estimate what it is by turning. I can't wait to check that torque. It has loosened slightly from when I first tried it, had to get a bar across the yoke and turn it that way - impossible by hand. But now can just turn it with two hands.
