1.8 Crown wheel and pinion settings?

[RobbieRat]

Hey All, my Torsen arrived today but before i can fit it i need to know the torque settings for the crown wheel bolts and the amount of backlash on the crown wheel and pinion, does anyone know this info or where i can find it

Cheers Rob.

Be carefull when torquing the main carrier bolts I had a couple strech on me, Mazda had them on back order but luckerly i had another diff to steal them out of. Try and get new ones before you start
As for the torque setting and back lash I can post them tomorrow when I get to work

OO OO back lash is 0.8-1.2 mm measured at the tip of the crown wheel
IIRC

Thanks for that Russ, thats just what i was after,and being an old schooler i prefer to work in thou's anyway so its all good My dial indicater is imperial too so i'm half way there, now just need to borrow a 8\" mic' from some where and i should be right.

So if any Melbernbians going to the dynoday have one and could bring it, it would be much appreciated?

Cheers Rob
