I did mine with it on the ground and I didnt use any of the old hardware. Hope that helps. If the original is still on getting it off is PITA but a hammer worked for me.

it should be in the directions, but i just tighten it up.. get it nice and tight with a socket wrench, and itll be fine........i dont have a torque wrench that works so i just say **** it and ill keep goin till my instinct says stop..lol.. i know, not the best of practices but oh well........

I used the BFH to get that bolt out of the draglink, though it was rather stubborn. I had to put a bit of oomph behind that hammer. I tightened mine using the same exacting standards kamokid did, using my built in torque wrench, lol, and it's been good for quite some time. And mine is an RC too fyi, I didn't reuse anything from the stock setup. Good luck with that bolt!

i finally got the thing out after drilling it out went thru 3 drill batterys lol. but its on now and i love it. I did have to re-use the stock hardware on the lower mount cause the bolt they sent me was not even close to fitting. But its okay other than that im happy with it
