Front and Rear Axle help
I am in the middle of a fluid change on both front and rear axles... what is the torque for the bolts to re-tighten?

Just tighten them snug with a 3/8" ratchet....and you'll be fine.

Book says 30 ft/lbs cover bolts, 24 for fill plug.

Don't overtighten, folks have broken bolts.
