Title: torque settings?
Post by: BigSi on September 15, 2007, 14:10:44

Just changed my front prop for a double cardan one, and was wondering if anybody knew the torque settings for the eight bolts?

Hi Ray. Its fitted with a 4” inch lift, so the angles on the existing prop were therefore a little tight. A TD5 double cardan prop was about two inches too short, so I got a competition double cardan prop from Devon 4x4 (ask for Tim). It has taken some of the vibration out because the prop is now obviously running at a better angle. Just debating weather or not to change the rear too?
