After a front wheel failure on a JD 2955 MFWD, I'm having to reinstall the trunnions (dual king pins) on a front wheel knuckle housing. The bottom trunnion on my right wheel just fell off, presumably by vibrating the cap screws loose. I purchased the technical repair manual from Deere but the darn thing has zero information on the MFWD components. I need to know what the torque is for the three cap screws that hold in the two trunnions. The trunnions hold the bearings in place for the front wheels to turn side-to-side. the bolts are M12 x 30mm cap screws. As a side question, to keep these buggers in, should I use blue locktite or split lock washers?
