When properly assembled the flange will hold on the order of 500-1000 ftlb of torque without the clamp. Was this strut ever disassembled after being built at Esco? I have disassembled repaired struts where the flange was reassembled with sparingly applied "Red" thread locking compound. The break-away torque was a small "scary" fraction of what it should have been. The flange should be installed with Loctite 601 Retaining Compound. http://tds.loctite.com/tds5/docs/601-EN.PDF Chris Chris Zavatson N91CZ 360std. www.N91CZ.com --=__PartD8FCF2A1.0__= Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Description: HTML <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1"= > <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2800.1561" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY style=3D"MARGIN: 4px 4px 1px; FONT: 10pt Tahoma"> <DIV>Jeff,</DIV> <DIV>If your flange was spinning inside the strut, it needs to removed = completely and reinstalled using the proper retaining compound. = When properly assembled the flange will hold on the order of = 500-1000 ftlb of torque <U>without</U> the clamp.
