Here's my method to torque the top nut to the 41 ft-lb spec. Used a crow's foot socket on my torque wrench (easiest to position at 90 degrees according to http://www.motorcraftservice.com/ren...la_main_en.asp) which torqued the pass-through socket (pass-through extension as pictured may be needed for rear), and extra long hex bit to hold the rod. All tools were *in stock* at Harbor Freight for reasonably cheap.



Tagging @DarrenDriven in case this might be useful for others to see in the OP.
