I used one of the bolts that holds the front cap to the frame at the back of the pin box and drilled a hole through the cap to prevent the latch handle from spinning. I need an Allen driver to use with my torque wrench to tighten the Allen set screws to 40 ft/lbs. I hand tightened them with a regular Allen wrench. Wondered what they did and saw that they tighten against the pin plate and force the ball adapter down onto the bolts. Since I installed with the hole to the rear, I want to be sure it doesn't spin around. And I think I remember someone saying that the torque had been bumped from 40 to 50, but not sure if that is for the Allen set screws or for bolts on the gooseneck mount.
