I asked this question a few weeks ago and got very
different answers.  If someone who's been through the
front end of a TR4A knows, please answer:

1) What's the proper torque for the trunnion bolt?

The TR4 didn't use a trunnion bolt; rather, the trunnion
had two shafts.  The factory manual treats these like wheel
bearings (tighten to 5 ft lbs then back off two flats.)  No
specific guidance on the TR4A, just a general statement
that you assemble the trunnion as for a TR4.  However, the
TR6 has the same trunnion assembly as the TR4A, and
I have been told that the TR6 books call for 50 ft lbs on the 
trunnion bolt.  5 or 50?  Quite a difference.

Thanks in advance...
