[Healeys] dog nut removal

[Ed Orr]

Many thanks to the dozen responders to the dog nut delema . Bob Yule and 
Rich Chrysler suggested an impact wrench (I borrowed one from Head and Block 
in Stoney Creek , great guys) it worked like a charm , the nut came off with 
ease . Incidently the WD40 and liquid wrench had done there job the whole 
crank and nut were wet inside .

However the nut now has no threads left in it , not a problem I have another 
, the crank threads are another story , about 80% of the threads are damaged 
, about 1/4" nearest the block are still OK .

Could someone tell me the thread size so I could try chaseing the threads .

What is the proper torque for the dog nut in ft lbs I cannot find it in the 
BMC Workshop Manual .
