Does anyone have the torque spec for the rear cover of a Sterling 10.5 rear axle? It's time to change the rear end and trans oil.

Thanks,

i just put some rtv on the surface and tightened it with a ratchet. hasnt leaked since.

 

I had planned to use RTV as gasket material. I think that was the OEM material. That's what they used on the 8.8" rear end in my van anyway.

If someone doesn't have a spec for it I may just use my "calibrated wrist."
