Looking for the Torx specs on a greaseable 1956 Ford Fairlane Convertible Idler arm.
Thank you for your time.

My shop manual says: 28-43 ft.lb. for the bracket-to-frame mount, & 85-100 ft. lb. for the greaseable bushing's. I will be doing mine very soon, also. F F

Thank you Sir:
For your response to my question on the Torx spec's on the greaseable idler arm for my 1956 Ford Sunliner.
But would you have a picture of the greaseable washer's & spacers for assembly or know were I can obtain a assembly picture?
Thank you for your time.

Power steering or manual. They are some what different.
I have some Ford drawings for both for a tbird which should be the same ?

I don't have pics, but Paul has some drawings coming. T Bird should be very similar. I want to see them, too as I am also replacing my idler arm. Mine does not have any spacers or washers, so I am not familiar w/that part of it.

Here are the pics. These are from 55-57 TBird Ford book but should be similar to sedan
