Crown wheel torque settings

[jdm-mk]

Hey guys,

Im installing my new lSD centre and just wondering if anyone has the torque settings for the Crown wheel and everything else?

Thanks

Just had a look in Hayne's & Rod's but not much detail - more detail in factory manual but only torque setting to be found was: "drive pinion preload (without oil seal) - locknut tightening torque 128-264 Nm - 0.9-1.3 Nm". Seems a bit confusing giving two torque seetings like that but that's how it reads with kgf m & ft lbs equivalents in between. Btw, Rod's specifically recommends that this job only be tackled by qualified mechanic, which you may or may not be.

Crown wheel 51 to 61 ft/lbs

Cap bolts 50 to 66 ft lbs.

Both with oil under the heads of the bolts.
