Hey Stiles... another question. What should the torque be for the zerk fittings that go on the ends of the bolts? When I had mine installed and I took a look underneath at what was done, I found someone went nuts with the grease gun. As I was cleaning off the fittings I found them all pretty loose, some almost falling off. I tightened them down a little bit but not to any particular torque.
What do you recommend? Maybe 15 to 20 lbs? Probably not much cuz I don't want to strip them, but I don't want them to loosen when I grease up.

Art,
The zerk fittings would be a tapered pipe thread and hand snug with a small wrench is fine. If you have a torque wrench, 20 lbs - (or 240 in lbs) will be sufficient.
