2) Install new nut on bottom socket finger-tight. Install and tighten nut on top socket finger-tight. Tighten bottom nut to 47 N-m (35 ft-lb).
3) Tighten top nut to 136 N-m (100 ft-lb), then advance nut until castellation aligns with cotter pin hole. Install cotter pin. NOTE: Do not loosen top nut to install cotter pin.
