gollane Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Despite searching I cannot find a torque setting for the four nuts securing the spring to the diff ,anybody know the definitive setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Wsm says 28 -32lbft but does not differentiate std plate of swing box Haynes say 20lbft These are std 3/8"unf x24 studs the std torque for that type of fixing would be 28-32lbft A firm pull with a std spanner will give that quite easily do not apply gorilla tactics , Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gollane Posted June 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Thanks Pete, that's what I thought ,just wondering if they should be tighter as there is a witness of wear marks on the two front studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 I've seen one or two diffs with lumps pulled off them and that's not something you repair very easily! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Its quite possible the box does some panting even when fully secured , Witness marks could be just agism or maybe not tight in its previous use Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
