Now that my head banging moment is sorted out I managed to get the left side knuckle installed. Using the idea from both Phil and Rob for using the shop hoist, things went very smoothly. The felt retainer bolts are quoted in the manual as being torqued to 30 foot pounds. I did this, for all the other ones I couldn’t find any reference to torque specs so I went wih 50 foot pounds. I also sorted out the safety wire and got the 4 bolts all wired up.
