studding

[RippinV]

When studding with Woody's how much do you tighten the nuts. How do you know when its bottomed, what type of torque specs in ft lbs?

Secondly, when tightening the track how do you pull 20lbs of preasure if you dont have a spring guage?

thanks!

Woody's recommends 15lbs. of torque.

Use your hand to pull the track down by pushing on the track in the middle.

why do the instructions say 80-100 ft lbs of torque?

I don't know what you are reading but even on the Woody's website it says to torque the nuts 8.5 to 15 lbs.

Instructions are listed in foot inches!!!
You have to convert to foot pounds. Should be from 12 to 15 foot pounds. I did all mine with an air gun set to 15 foot pounds.

I did them all at 15 ft lbs, thanks for all your help. 144 down the center, single and double diggers!! Simmons up front with 6" cutting on the outside and 4 on the inside. Backed off the front springs about 10 threads. Looking forward to 1500 miles starting this Thur in Gaspe!!!
