Got the bracket bolted back into the frame. I used 7/16-20 plated grade 8 plated bolts/nuts/washers/lock washers. It's in there good and strong and luckily for me only one fastener needed a little encouragement getting in place. The other three lined up perfectly and all were a tight fit..

I did my research and multiple charts said the lb-ft spec for those bolts was 58 lb-ft. That seems light to me but that was the spec I found. I ended up torquing them to 60 lb-ft.



Before I go any further, I wanted your opinions on that torque spec. If I need to increase it, it will be a lot easier with it still apart.

Thanks all...
