Tighten Pitman arm
What's the best way to get the BAN (Big-Ass Nut) on the sector shaft tightened down? Also, anyone have a torque wrench that goes to 300 ft/lbs that I could borrow?

I've got the proper socket and a 3/4" drive ratchet you can use, but I don't have the torque wrench.

You may check tool rental at a couple auto shops. Not sure if they go that big or not.

300 is a lot. I seem to remember 250 for that nut. Hate to see you twist the shaft off.

I have a torque multiplier you can borrow I can't remember if it's a 3x or 4x

I have a huge 3/4 torque wrench at work. Most of our stores road well. Except that would require you being able to drive it. Sorry
