Anybody know what the torque spec is for the nut on the bottom of an idler arm? Can't seem to locate it in my service manual.

Initially torque to 50, then tighten until cotter pin will go in, do not exceed 70. Chuck

I was told at a very young age to only use 1/2 inch drive for disassemly and torqueing. :s Here's why dad always said "If YOU can't hit it with a sledge hammer leave it alone!" Forgot today.
