RV-8 Gear tower bolt loose

[tracy]

I found the second bolt down ,in picture, loose and was wondering what the torque specs are on all 10 of them. Also, any secret getting inside tower to hold the nuts on back side?
Thanks in advance.

Are those AN3s? Would think 20-25 in lbs... that's what I torque all those too.

Tracy - do a quick search on those gear tower bolts. There is a lot of good info and suggestions for dealing with them. Re torque all of the bolts, not just the An3's. That's not a loose bolt, that's an almost falling out bolt! They are all suspect in my opinion.
While your at it, I would get in there with cue tips or whatever and clean up the weldments so you can inspect for cracks, etc....
