<VV> Front end shimmy Pt 2

[Bryan Blackwell]

I believe there is a torque value in the shop manual, and then you back the nut off and install the cotter pin.  Like Joel, I just snug them down then back off to the cotter pin hole.  The torque value is just there so somebody doesn't crank down on them to get the tighter hole to line up.
