Thanks Bion (AKA:Zombie Crusher)
I'm taking both differential covers off to do a thorough cleaning. You wouldn't have the bolts torque spec's for front & back would you?
Thanks a heap!!!

Just go easy, it's not a problem.

 

Thanks Brent. I'll keep that in mind.

 

If that were the case they wouldn't bother with torque specs. But they do:

Rear diff cover: 28-38 ft-lbs

Front diff cover: 35 ft-lbs

 

99% of the mechanics would never torque those........guaranteed.

You can find specs for almost anything.

 

Completely believe it. Which is why I do my own work!

 

I bet you torque your catchup bottle

 

I find no torque value for a catchup bottle. I do see one for a ketchup bottle though. I wonder if this is one of those torque to yield thingies....

 

You found a torque value for a ketchup bottle? Do tell, I need it.

 

Torque control for bottle caps is a big business.


Take this company for instance:

Precision Torque Control, Inc. - Capping Headsets

And here's a chart!!

SKS Bottle - Torque Guide

 

I wonder if it's the same value as for a catsup bottle cap.

Hmmmmmmm...

Actually my Heinz bottle says ketchup but I thought it was catsup but ended up with a compromise of catchup.
