Back up light switch on 4-Speed

TOMRR · Oct 14, 2018

I have to replace the backup light switch on my 69RR 4-speed. I notice it has a rubber o-ring for a seal. Was wondering how much to tighten it. its a 15/16 socket size and will be using a short ratchet by hand.

Thanks Tom C.

just tighten it until it feels solid and don't get all manly on it. probly about 10-15 ft lbs

Did not see torque spec. on the reverse switch in my book. 10 to 20 FT Lb. After all it is only holding it self in not like a bolt that holds two pieces together. I just tighten mine till it stopped with a standard size ratchet wrench. With a little extra force.

Yep All Set !! Thanks for the replies, Went in easy by hand and just a slight tighten with a 15/16 socket !!!

TOMRR is this a new switch. I ordered a rebuild kit for mine and got the new switch as well. Let us know if this fixed the problem.

So dose the reverse lights work now. You said that you had a problem with the old one rite. That is why I put the new one on mine plus a different speed o gear. Due to the rear end gear change. Keep that runner running guy. Russ.
