Does anyone know offhand the torque spec for the 10 Pinion limited slip differential bolts?

That’s it? Weak!

you want to use the nylon nuts.   That's why it is not a lot.  Actually, I think 20 ft lbs is what the torque is for lug nuts on your car tires.

Some of the side plates  are aluminum and over torque WILL crack them.

I stand corrected gentlemen.  Sorry for giving wrong information.    Not sure what I was thinking.

What? You think I wouldn't see this didn't ya. You old guys need to find something to do during the day. Here's something to keep you busy: What is the proper tool to tighten them. Torx? Allen Wrench? Hex ? ECT ECT. See if you can figure it out!

                  Any questions?    

[squonk 41,368]

I don't see the proper tool or tools! Please try again! 

[squonk 41,368]

I'll give the answer after 3 tomorrow

Good lord!  You guys! 

🤣

If it is the bolt between the head and the neck...it is a head bolt and requires the biggest torque wrench in the tool box.  The one with foot pounds.

Close 

[elcamino/wheelhorse 9,354]

@stevasaurus Don't over torque the nuts , may bust the aluminum side plates that holds Skonky's ears. 

[squonk 41,368]

Ok the Big Reveal! Ol' Case de ElCamino is going to have to find his tool box to see if he has the "Proper Tool(s) to torque my "head bolts" And here they are: You will need the tamper proof bit on the left and this left handed Metric torque wrench! No substitutes allowed as they will void all warranties! 

 

[stevasaurus 22,872]

Well...isn't that special.
