I'm currently in the process of replacing all the bushing in the clutch/brake pedal assembly on my daughter's '92 F150. The first threads I can across mentioned dropping the steering column and letting is rest on the seat in order to get the pedals out. So I did that but it was still a pain in the neck. Then I ran across a thread that talked about simply unbolting the intermediate steering shaft and pushing it though the firewall. Wish I would have seen that one on first...

Anyway, I started looking for the torque values for the mounting hardware so I can be prepared when it comes time to put it all back together. I looked in my Haynes manual and the ones that make the most sense are:

Coupling shaft-to-steering shaft: 45 to 59 ft-lbs
Steering column-to-support bracket bolts: 120 to 156 in-lbs

Can anyone confirm if those are the correct values for the nuts/bolts circled in red?





Thanks!

 

I wouldn't get hung up with torque wrench use for this. When I reconditioned my pedal box last year, I know what it took to loosen the bolts and tightened them accordingly with no torque wrench..I have no worries that anything will loosen. I have several torque wrenches and didn't see the need for them with that repair.

 

I looked up in my Ford manual the torque specs have a wide range which indicates it is not very critical. Coupling shaft bolt 35-50 FT LBS and the support nuts 19-27 FT LBS.

 

Thanks for the info raski.
