Rock Krawler JL track bar questions

[BCalvin]

I have RK06187 front and RK06692 rear track bars.
Can any one confirm these have the updated bushings that
require a GLNI#1 lube or GLNI#000?



I ordered both Rock Krawler 000 lube and Mobil Mobilux EP-1, which is correct or best?

Also am I correct by understanding that i am to lock the edge into a bench vise and torque the lock nut to 220 pounds with red heavy loc-tight?

I'm concerned about deforming or damaging the end if I have to grip just the edge and reef down on it with 220 ftpounds with a crow foot.

Thank you!

I used a vise to to tighten mine. It did take some powder coating off but everything else was fine.

Thank you, did you lock it into the vise like my bottom picture?

You can remove the bushings and o-rings and clamp the whole end in the vise. There's no way you'd get them up to torque just clamping the edge.

Torqued mine on the Jeep.

Thanks!
