I am about to replace the horn contact rings in my '83 Vanagon and noticed
that the Bentley manual calls for 36 ft-lb of torque on the nut holding the
steering wheel on.  I don't have a torque wrench and was wondering how
important it is to tighten it that exactly.  I prefer to not have it pop
off in my lap while driving :)

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks!

Marc
