Hi all I'm a new member, however one suggestion I would recommend to help after the lock washer and reaching proper torque, if you have a paint pen, you could make a torque stripe from the frame up the nut, and end it on the threads of the bolt. If there are any aircraft mechanics in this group you'll understand exactly what I'm saying. You would do this to aid in identifying if the fastener stack up has moved or loosened. Applying the torque stripe on the head of the bolt and the washer under the head of the bolt will also work as well. I hope this helps

I had thought of doing that in plain view so it could be seen when I connected the toad.

Nail polish works well too. Just don't tell the DW what you used it for
