Tom,

Going from memory, this is how my IH shop manual says to do it (torque to
spec and back off a specific number of turns).  I did it this way on my
tranny using a beam type torque wrench.  However, I think you'll find that
it take a special socket (like 5/16" *square* instead of hex) to fit the
adjuster screw.  I bought such a socket at a local industrial hardware
supplier, but I'm sure McMaster-Carr sells it via mailorder, etc.

Regards,

John L.
