Somewhere I've seen torque values for this nut but I can't lay hands on right
now. I do know that you must be careful with the felt seal in this assembly
as you can torque against it and get a false reading and then later the joint
will loosen and the gearbox will start jumping out of gear. Make sure the
splines have slid past the felt seal before the final tightening.
