    Stay arm

    I removed and painted my stay arm on reassembly does the split pins go through the castellated but or can the but be tightened and pins in front of but.I've bought new nuts and bolts and am drilling the hole myself.

    Pics of the part in question would really help.

        The pin will keep the nut from rotating, so through the castellated end after specified torque is applied (14.5-21.5 lb-ft) for rear torque link nut.

        Like so.

            No pics prior to repair? Boy, I've never done that!

            Been thinking more about the purpose of the castellation (great term BTW, I would use something far less proper) and realized the depth of the notches give more leeway in assembly to achieve desired torque setting and split pin (cotter pin) insertion point. Whether or not the pin goes through the castellated part or butts against the other end of the nut may or may not matter as far as shearing off the pin [if in fact the nut loosens up enough from the movement in the stay arm] but would greatly increase the difficulty of assembling the part to spec, and having it stay there. I suppose you could torque to spec, then drill the hole in place but what a pain. That been said, will you torque the nut to spec, mark or measure where to drill, remove the bolt then drill and reassemble it? That's what I'd do FWIW.

              There's a torque value for that?

              I just snug it up, then see which way I will need to turn the least to get me to the next notch and turn the nut in that direction.
