    FRONT Guibo bolt torque

    I don't have my Bentley handy, and I'm not sure it would cover this anyway...

    To what torque to I tighten the front driveshaft guibo bolts?

    Thanks!

    I think its around 50ft/lbs but since they are locknuts i just make them tight enough. Never had an issue.

        Thanks, but it's not in this table.

        I used 25 ftlbs because they are 10mm bolts, but I would like to find the real number.

            Looks like 48 NM for the 8.8 bolts and 64 for 10.9's... ok. I didn't notice which was which.
            The "drive" bolts from the shaft to the guibo are through bolts with loose nuts.
            The "driven" bolts go through the guibo from the same side as the "drive" bolts and thread into the fingers on the input flange of the front diff. I didn't notice if they were different classes.

            Thanks!
