Another way to ask the question:
Has anyone compiled a list of the known mistakes in the Bentley Books?

Subject: RE: Pinion Flange and Misprints, crow tastes so good!
Lee,
I've noticed the following in the Bentley manual. Can you clear up
these other places also:
page 346 (51.25.19 Sheet 5, item 25)
"Fit the four bolts holding the mounting flange to the hypoid case to 10
to 20 lbf in (2.1 to 2.8 kgf m)."
Q. is it "10 to 20 lbf in" or "10 to 20 lbf ft"?
page 347 (51.25.19 Sheet 6, item 29)
"Carefully tighten the castellated nut checking the pinion bearing
pre-load. Shim the bearing spacer as necessary to obtain a pinion
torque
of 15 to 18 lbf in when the castellated nut is tight to a torque loading
of 90 to 120 lbf in (12.4 to 16.6 kgf m)."
and again for the same nut
page 347 (51.25.19 Sheet 6, item 32)
"Refit drive flange and nut to a loading of 90 to 120 lbf in (12.4 to
16.6 kgf m)."
Q. is it "90 to 120 lbf in" or "90 to 120 lbf ft"?
- this is the one Pete questioned
- Lee says: "90 to 120 lbf ft" and I agree, mine was not very tight
and I think that is why it has a locking wire to hold it.
page 347 (51.25.19 Sheet 6, item 44)
"Remove the differential unit and fit crown wheel - 10 bolts and spring
washers 38 to 46 lbf in (5.2 to 6.4 kgf m), apply loctite to bolts
before fitting."
Q. is it "38 to 46 lbf in" or "38 to 46 lbf ft"?
page 348 (51.25.19 Sheet 7, item 49)
"...Release the spreading tool and fit and tighten carrier bearing caps
to a torque of 30 to 38 lbf in (4.1 to 5.2 kgf m)."
Q. is it "30 to 38 lbf in" or "30 to 38 lbf ft"?
TIA.
