    Thanks a ton.
    That confirms what I figured.just had to make sure.What I did was tightened it with the ratchet,then checked
    The torque.It came out at about 55 LB's,so I torqued it down to about 64-65 LB's

    Thank's again !

    Unless a manual specifies a torque on a nut or bolt there usually isn't one. Engine heads and auotomotives lugs have torques but most things do not. Like DG says, good and tight.
