The torque reading before removal is from the 1974 AMC Technical Reference
manual. This is the only time I have seen a reference like this in the
manual. All the other torque settings are listed in the manual as a
predefined amount. Since I removed mine before finding this out I had to
torque mine down based on drag. Like I indicated before with a siezed nut I
am not sure how you could take a torque setting that would be accurate.
