Bridge Help

So we had a question about the bridges, after a lot of troubleshooting, we weren't able to get the bridge down. We don't know if it's a problem with our motor or something else, but We wanted to know,

How much force is required (at the ends of the bridge) to push it down?

We looked around on chiefdelphi and couldn't find any certain number, however I was told it was 10-16 pounds.

Anyone have a roughly accurate measurement?

Re: Bridge Help

~16 lbf at the ends of the bridge

The bridge requires approx. 56 lbft of torque to tip.
