How to Torque Tie Rod Nut?

[YoshiMoshi3]

How do I torque a tie rod nut, the one in-between the outer and inner? I was thinking just tight would do, but there's a specified torque rating. I guess I need a torque wrench with an open wrench end attachment? I think as long as the outer and inner tie rod can't spin independently of each other, and the outer tie rod cannot spin further up the threaded stud of the inner tie rod, than should be fine and just tight will do. But there's a specified torque value.

Thanks for the help.

For the jam nut you would need an crowfoot wrench on your torque wrench.

I torque a lot of things, but not jam nuts. But if you want to do so, that's how.

You mean the nut that goes up against the adjustment sleeve? Just get it tight with an open end wrench.

I've never even heard of torquing a tie rod jam nut. If I were to doing it I would use a crow's foot as suggested but make sure it's at 90* to the torque wrench.
