205 nut torques

I am going to put new output seals in my tcase since they are both leaking.

Anybody know how tight the yoke nuts get torqued on?

Any tips on the job?

Manual says:

"Install yoke and flange. Tighten yoke and flange nuts to 176 N. 136 (ft. lbs.).

Hadn't looked the torques up yet . . . but I did just take the rear yoke off last night. The nut was loose -- thought I would need to replace the rear output bearing, but now I think it was just the loos nut.

It is very easy as long as you have a socket small enough for the screws that hold the u-joint caps and big enough for the nut on the yoke.

The front is a little tighter because of the crossmember and exhaust.

If I had a pressure washer set up, I would have washed the frame, etc. to get rid of grease thrown from the u-joints.

Had to use laquer thinner to wash off the self sealing compound from the old seal stuck to the seal bore.

Good luck,

Alec
