Thread-topic: Axle Torque Setting...One Last Shot
Hi All,

I posted this note last night and did not receive any responses.  I thought I'd 
give it one more shot.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I got my rebuilt differential mounted and bolted up last night thanks to some 
fellow TR6'ers.  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
