Lee :
The only Haynes manual I have is for TR 2-4A, and I don't have it handy
(I'm at work). I believe the spec for the pinion nut was 85-100 ftlb for
all models, same for the side flange nut on 4A IRS. The preload torque was
something like 10-15 inlb.
Those may not be the exact numbers, but the units for the nuts were
definitely foot-pounds, the preload was definitely inch-pounds. The nut
torque was definitely around 100 ftlb, the preload around 1 ftlb.
