Loosen   self-locking   nut   on   eccentric   spin- dle   screw,   using   socket   wrench   (item 82,  appx  B).  Nuts  are  torqued  to  600  ± 25   ft-lb   (810   ±   34   N-m)   (oiled   threads and   washer).   Drive   wedge   (item   71, appx   B)   into   joint   to   relieve   tension   on eccentric    spindle.
