Any tips on how to get it on? Tracy says 350 ft pounds. Phew. That's me jumping on the end of my torque wrench. How do I hold the shaft / counterweights / airplane still while I do this? Any suggestions on where to get a 2 1/8 socket? That size seems to be missing from my $9 socket set :) Regards, John Slade (torquing up a storm)
