Can someone tell me how many Nm's this nut wants to be torqued to?
Thanks,

look at a Craftsman bar wrench, it has FP and NM.
I could likely look at mine and give you my best guess as to NM=FP if you like

I reread your post, you asked for Nm.
289 to 325 lb ft. is the conversion.

It's more like I was wondering how to measure that precisely as my wrench only goes to 120 Nm. I'll try to borrow one at the local garage which has the right range.
Cheers,
