Pin Box Bolt Torque

[ytehie]

Just ordered a 5th Airborne pin box. The instructions say how much to torque the bolts based on the bolt size. The problem is, I'll be swapping it out next weekend and I won't be at home. I need to know what the torque is ahead of time so I can bring the right size wrench.

Does anyone know the right torque and/or bolt size for the Reflection 311bhs (stock is Lippert 1621 pin box)

If you use the same size bolts that are used on the stock pin box they are 5/8 grade 5 bolts. The torque is 150 ft lbs. When I changed my stock pin box out for a sidewinder they recommended going to grade 8 and they are 200 ft lbs. Hope this helps.

Perfect, thank you!

Definitely get rid of the grade five bolts for grade 8s. In fact, i’m Taking delivery of a new Solitude 374Th and f it doesn’t have grade 8’s, I’m switching them. Get the bolt size, the coating (if any), and look it up on the internet. Mine were tightened to 180 ft lbs.
