Is it true it is 100 ft/lbs? That's what Google AI said.

Les Andrews book agrees with the 100 ft lbs

That's probably where AI picked up the 100 ft lbs.

pull on it as hard as you can.
and then check it again after you drive it.

Tighten it until your elbow begins to dislocate and your ears turn red. Remember, the Ford assembly line workers didn't have torque wrenches.

Good and tight then align for cotter pin.
Then after driving some —100 miles or so check again.
