Differential bolt torque

Recommended Posts

Hi all, Working on a 10 lsd, got new grade 8 bolts and nuts. What is the proper torque for the nuts,

Standard grade 8, 3/8 coarse thread is 33 foot lbs, but @stevasaurus video states 20 foot lbs?                 Thanks

Maybe Steve put grade five back in there?

 

 

During all of our restorations I buy as much grade 8 Hardware as possible including all the washers and nuts.

 

Bolt Depot in Hingham Massachusetts is where I get all of my supplies and they state 33 lb for coarse thread 3/8.

I have an old needle type torque wrench. I tend to go a dash on the high side so...

 

I put mine about 35 lb.
