I have a 58. Can anyone tell me what the torque specifications for the upper and lower nuts securing the brake back plate to the steering arm and spindle? I have looked in the 1953-1962 Corvette Servicing Guide, the 1958 Assembly Manual, and the 1958 Chevrolet Pass Car Shop Manual with no luck. Thanks for your time and assistance.

Re: C1 steering arm/spindle to back plate torques
Perhaps someone can give you the exact torque specs but those nuts have to be tight - I'd say around 70-80 ft-lbs. Check and see if the through bolts are grade stamped. If they are grade 8 (6 dashes), wrench them down good! Hope this helps.- Top

Go here. http://dodgeram.org/tech/specs/bolts/SAE_bolts.html When all else fails I use this as a general guide. Hope this is what you are looking for. David Bodily- Top
