Some of the guys better versed than me will be along and confirm those numbers or not...but one thing you want to be sure of is that all the numbers are consistent w/each other...they should not vary more than 10 lbs or LESS


Plus...drain a small sample of foot-oil from the lower screw...if excessive metal filings are present it may soon be in need of repair...

Good luck w/it...let us know what ya did and show us some pictures if ya get it...
