I'm putting together my 4 bolt 5 lug rear trailing arms. Do these look like they need to be pressed more? This is as far as I could muscle them with my vice before it broke. I have access to a press now, but I'm just blindly pumping that and don't want to ruin my new stuff by over doing it. They look like they could go 1 or 2mm more, but I honestly have no idea. My Chiltons and Mitsu service manual do not cover this at all and I can't find squat online about putting this stuff together. Maybe I'm just thinking about it too much or something.

Also, what does the 27mm nut on the companion flange get torqued to?

Thanks.

each bolt and nut is torqued to 40-47 ft lbs (55-65nm).

The bolt that is within the companion flange is 116-159 ft lbs (160-220nm)

What Chilton do you have? my Chilton covers this, I am actually looking at it in my manual now.
