crownwheel bolts torque settings?

[marty325]

Hey, i've had a search but can't seem to find the info i need, can anyone tell me the torque settings for the 10 19mm head bolts that hold the crownwheel onto the lsd unit in a 325is diff? Thanks in advance for any help!

Marty, wait for further guideance, but on a FWD slipper I used around 50lbft and some lock tight. Getting anymore torque was nigh on impossible in something that is very hard to vice down.

Using original crownwheel bolts and loctite 270, torque to 100Nm (72 lbft), and then torque angle 30 degrees. Be 100% certain that all threads are clean of any old loctite, dirt etc before reassembling.
