torque

What should the bolts on the transfer case be torqued to? I'm going to open it tomorrow and see what's in it.

Be more specific! I would be glad to help.

Tyler you mean the bolts on the bottom cover right?

[flippedrover]

yep. The ones that i can take off to look inside.

[Mike Hippert]

I think they are 25-35 ftlbs

[flippedrover]

Ok.

[evilfij]

that seems a tad high

the spec on the case bolts are fairly low as it is only alum. threads. in any case, tight but not overtight. I use 1/4 drive to prevent stripping the threads.

In any case (pun intended) i would not be concerned about the spec on those bolts. Just tighten them up but not too much. 4 of the 8 have locktite on the threads so they are not going anywhere. Especially after you seal it up with right stuff.

[Bowtracer]

My 2 cents worth! In my Man it says 25Nm=18.44lbs/ft.

Interesting.
