BTW What IS the proper torque rating for this part? I assume no locktite?
Proper torque rating for our pins is 80 foot pounds (dry)--the same as a wheel. Locktite is not necessary, but if you do use it, I'd use blue and NOT use RED! Unless you like saying naughty words if you ever have to take them off!

I would also recommend using anti seize on the tapered face (not on the threads). If you want to use anti-seize on the threads, then I'd reduce the torque to 60 foot pounds.
