Hey Guys,
Am in the process of installing my MaxJax. For those that may have "been there done that". Is there a torque value for the 10 pedestal bolts?
Will check with MaxJax next week, but, thought I'd ask here.
Happy Trails....

Initial install or re-setting columns? Regular type anchors or epoxy?


Hi,
It's the initial install.....
Also, their instructions suggested holes 5.5" deep. The insert is only 4" plus an additional 5/8" for tightening to clamp. Why the difference do you think. It's tough enough boring through hard-**** concrete an additional 1" that serves no apparent purpose.
These are the inserts...

Hey Guys.....MaxJax update
Initially took more time than I thought to drill the first of the required 10 qty. 7/8 x 5.5 holes. It seems my Milwaukee hammer drill just wasn't up to the task. So, I used a Dewalt SDS rotary hammer drill with a 5/8" bit. It made easy work of the remaining 9 pilot holes. After which, the 7/8" bit just sailed through the lot. With the help of youse guys, I got the system up and in the bleeding process this past weekend.
However, there was a slight negative........it seems the head of the 2.5 lb. mall, decided to come loose when pounding in one of the "Wej-its" and it struck the rocker panel of my early 1965 Mustang cvt. Ouch!
Thanks to all for your help.
