Steering rack bushing toque 96 or 141?

[repo]

On two pages the FSM says 96 ft/lbs for the 22mm driver side nut, and on another page it says 141 ft/lb. The writeups says 141 ft/lbs. Anyone know which is correct because it's quite a difference?

This isn't much help, but I broke my torque wrench trying to get that nut off! That being said, I think mine was at 141 because it's still on there. I officially hate working on the steering... I wish I had air tools

I recently went with 141. No problems so far.

Electric impact wrench made short work of mine.

I haven't found a nut my 1/2" breaker bar and maybe some liquid wrench couldn't get off yet. Cheaper than air tools. Amazing how much difference a few inches of leverage makes.

Yeah, I used the same deal and was using a 3' long breaker bar. Broke the gears in the torque wrench. I don't know what is up with my steering rack, getting the guide out took several days of penetrant and extreme heat and took all my might to just get it budge with the same breaker bar.
