#1 Crown wheel bolts

Post by alunwill » Mon Jul 27, 2026 10:04 pm

Does anyone have the torque setting values for the crown wheel bolts on a 4hu LSD.

I've searched the manuals to no avail. But I have come across the following range of values, online. 50 lbft, 80 lbft, 100 lbft.


Many thanks.

This is from the Mk2 manual.

Hi Andrew, many thanks. 70 - 80 lbft it is then based on the "Drive gear bolt" data
