My Leyland Pubs Repair Ops Manual for my spit specifies 26-34 flbs for the prop shaft to universal nuts/bolts, I would suspect it should be the same for the half axles. Frank Drummond

I followed Bentley's for the proper torque wrench settings. > > Tonight, I went out to bolt up the two inner half axle shafts to the differential, but I can't find the proper torque wrench setting, or maybe Bentley calls it something I don't recognize. I tried 70 foot/pounds and ended up stripping the threads. I had to then back them all out and they are all now questionable. Into the trash they went. Lesson learned....tighter is not necessarily better. > > Does anyone have the correct torque wrench setting for the four bolts and nuts that attach the half shaft to the side of the differential? > > Thanks, > > Bill > Atlanta > 74 TR6 /// [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list /// Send admin requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// or try http://www.team.net/cgi-bin/majorcool /// Send list postings to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /// Edit your replies!
