Does anyone know what the correct torque specs are for the radio antenna?
This otta be good!!

 

Stock, or stubby replacement?

 

Hand tight?

 

150 ft lbs for pre-tourqe, then slowy work your way to 1,000,000 ft lbs in .5 degree increments.

 

Tight enough that it takes the "Jaws of Life" to remove it, then you need to go one more 1/4 turn.

 

When it starts to buckle the roof, back it off a hair.

 

German torque.....-Goodntight

 

Hand-Tighten, tip a brown one, then use vice grips to tighten until it strips the threads out of it, tip another brown one, then back it off a quarter turn. Use a degree-wheel to ensure it is exactly a quarter turn. Sit down and tip another brown one to celebrate yet another successful maintenance item completed. Take a picture of it and post a report, complete with pictures, of your exploits right here.

 

I'm guessing we dont have to ask how he got his nickname.............
