Steering Stabilizer Installation Question

[statikuz]

Hey, I'm installing my new Rancho SS and I'm having a hell of a time getting the nut off of the idler arm bracket to install the SS frame mount... am I gonna need a torque wrench/breaker bar to do this whole thing? And about the stock SS brackets on the centerlink, do I HAVE to cut them off or should I be able to bend them out of my way? Thanks!

Use a pipe or breaker bar to loosen the nuts(with another wrench or ratchet on the head of the bolt), and you'll have to check on the clearance for the CL mount. It might work to just bend the brackets out of the way.

Alrighty, that makes sense... but then it gives specs for what all the bolts should be torqued to. Is there an average torque value for "as tight as I can get it with a normal ratchet"? =)

Those idler arm bolts will take more torque than your arm can make, so just crank 'em on down nice and tight, but don't overdo it of course.
