58GreenMackB Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I have the steering box pictured below. It has the single 1-1/8" nut to hold the steering arm on. Can anyone tell me the torque spec for this nut? Please excuse the grease. It wouldn't let me upload the current picture with it all cleaned up. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51919-1958-mack-b-model-steering-box-bolt-torque/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

58GreenMackB Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 Thanks! I'll have to post some pictures of it now when I can. The whole front end is rebuilt with freshly painted red parts. Been a six month overhaul to get everything together I needed to do this, but worth the wait! It was extremely difficult to drive with all the worn out parts.
