Thank you sir. You pointed me to those sometime back and i downloaded and printed off a couple different ones, put them in nice covers. You set me up with a pretty nice reference library (helps that the paper and 2-sided printing were free!). Thanks again..
 
So the pitman arm has two nuts. Bigger nut to steering box. Smaller castlated nut to center link.
Which torque is the, "pitman arm nut @175"
And what would be the torque for the other nut? Please and thanks..
