drive shaft bolts torque spec.

[jtisdale]

I changed the rear u-joint in my buddys 03 today and what a nightmare it was. Finally, on the third attempt, we found one that would work. All that aside, can someone supply me with the torque spec for the four bolts on the pinion end of the driveshaft? I am going to re-check them Sunday morning. I cleaned both flange faces, cleaned the threads, used (blue) loctite, and snugged them up real well using a half inch long handle ratchet in the cross-pattern. Did I miss anything other than the torque spec?

Thanks, Jim

Thanks, that helps a lot. 85 ft. lbs should do it then.
