R180 Flange Bolt torque

Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me what the torque foot llbs is on the single flange bolt on each side of an R180 diff.

The manual says 40footllbs (5.5kgm) but I have just stripped one of the bolts and the other one whilst torqued to 40llbs did not feel right. I have read on the site that it is only 18llbs which may sound and feel right.

(2manyZ's - you may have answered this for me but the reply dissapeared off the sitre before i could read it)

Thanks

Yeah, I did....

It's supposed to be 6.5-8.7ft/lbs on the retainer flanges(the outer bolts) that hold the seal flange.

The center bolt in the middle of the side flange is the one that gets 13.7-18.8ft/lbs, the same as the rear cover bolts.

Don't ask me where Haynes got the 50ft/lbs from, when they list the center bolt for the 260 at 30ft/lbs.:ermm:

Do you think that I may be able to get restitution from Haynes for stripping the bolts (but hopefully not the centre of the diff - yet to check).

PS Nissan do not carry the bolts in Australia. said they may have them in Japan but it loks like the part number has been deleted.
