Brief Description:  Gear Box screws

I got the gear tower screws installed, torqued and torque painted. It was much easier to write that then do it... it took 4 hours of arm contorting to get them finished off. Only room for one hand inside the gear tower and it took some time to learn the proper technique to get the washer and nut installed one handed. There were a few that I pulled back out and did some countersinking on. Since the nuts have nylocs on them, I torqued to 20 pounds - up from 15 after reading up on VAF about the nylocs and the additional torque. I couldn't get a torque wrench on the bottom row so I hand torqued those based on the feel of the torqued ones.
