What torque - diff to housing nuts.

Post by 2car »

Ive just popped a new diff in my 40. Ive got the diff-to-housing bolts done up to 40ftlb ie the ones that hold the third member in the axle housing. Is that about right?

TIA

Sounds about right, proper torque specs for an 80/100 series front diff are something like 25 Nm. Bugger all but they only have spindly M8x1.25 studs though. Have been known to stretch and come loose when locker equipped. :oops:
