Y'know that massive nut that everyone has trouble getting off?
Any tips on how to get it on?
Tracy says 350 ft pounds. Phew. That's me jumping on the end of my torque
wrench.
How do I hold the shaft / counterweights / airplane still while I do this?
Any suggestions on where to get a 2 1/8 socket? That size seems to be
missing from my $9 socket set :)

I have this very rare and expensive socket John. Somehow you have to entice
me to make the 1.5 hr drive to Lantana? I can't understand the 350 lbs deal
too. I borrowed once a torque wrench with that capacity, and this mother was
6' long. I could not hold the engine from rolling over.
