On the lock nuts, I just tightened them as well as I could. Impossible to
get a torque wrench in there. Be sure to use torque seal or nail polish for
future inspection purposes.
On calibrating click type torque wrenches. What I do before every critical
torque is to "calibrate" my click type wrench against a beam type wrench.
Install an appropriate socket for a square nut on either wrench and observe
where the click type wrench clicks on the beam type wrench. Then you can
use the click type wrench for multiple torques with confidence. I
understand this procedure (or one like it) was mandatory in the military
when click type wrenches first became available...

For you Experts:
Installed the Rod End Bearings in the Rudder and Elevators today. -My loc
al A&P said to tighten the Jam Nut by "Hand Tightening" the Jam Nut as far
as it will go, then turn the nut between 1/4 and 1/2 turn more.
