Install torque applicator (T2) (38) and tee handle
(T161) (39) on reaction adapter (T28) (32). Turn
handle, if required, to rotate applicator to engage
reaction pins (39.1) in adapter.
Do not use power tools to turn torque
applicator. Applicator could be
severely damaged.
NOTE
Pins under torque applicator must be
fully seated in reaction adapter (T28)
to prevent applicator ride-up when
torque is first applied.

rocks, go to step 14. If applicator cannot be
moved, continue to turn handle (39) until torque
