Just finished attaching my wings on permanently and need to torque the bolts
and place my cotter keys. Researching the torque value of an AN6 bolt I found
that 95 in pounds. I researched the newsletters and could not find a remedy so
here goes my question...
Thanks

Luis,
I'm sure you'll get a more technically correct answer than mine but here
is what has worked for me for 15 years and 755 hours. I made the
assumption that the bolts, being loaded in sheer and not in tension,
that the torque value was not critical. I used nylon stop nuts instead
of castle nuts and simply got them "goottin tight" . A standard length
box end wrench on bolt head and nut and good and snug with one slight
grunt for good measure.
As always, YRMV.................
