As long as you have average strength cracking down as hard as you can will apply the proper torque.

Someone who is not familiar with torquing bolts would be wise to buy a cheap torque wrench rather than guessing at it. ;-)

I have a torque wrench. I just did not know what the torque is supposed to be. I found out it's 38 to 43 pounds. So you were no help.
I believe 36-43 lbs. is what Ego says. Honda and most other mowers recommend 40lbs. usually. I have also heard tight plus 1/4 turn. Good luck and enjoy that high lift blade. Rod

I screwed up and installed the blade upside down, I turned it on and the damn thing took off over the trees. That was a week ago and I still haven't found it.
