install help for steering box

[n54power]

I'm checking to see how many people install the pitman arm on the box before installing it or do you install the box then pitman.
I.ask because the icon bracket for track bar leaves zero room for a wrench.
I've read to use a large vice, torque too 390ftlb

Yea... Toss it in a vice and torque away

You would want to take the drop bracket off if you installed the box first then the arm. If your trying to leave the bracket in place, you will have to use a vise like CTC said. Make sure to hold the arm and not put the force on the box.

So here's my step by step
Check box for center
Mount pitman on box and secure with nut/washer
Using a large vice clamp down the pitman and torque to spec.
