How tight? Adjusting the spanner nut

2.63" joints: 65 ft-lbs. 2.0" joints: 25 ft-lbs. The number is also stamped on the spanner nut.

1. Use the Ballistic spanner tool (BJ-672 for the 2.63" joint) on the spanner nut.
2. Tighten to the torque listed on the spanner nut: 65 ft-lbs on 2.63" joints, 25 ft-lbs on 2.0" joints.
3. Then back it off to the next hole so the set screw can lock it.
4. Put the set screw back in.
5. Expect to re-tighten after the first few runs as the new races settle in.
6. If a joint starts making noise later, re-torque it. That usually makes it like new.
