Front drive shaft torque specs for the 12 bolts
On the front drive shaft, Is it a good idea to use anything on the bolt threads on either end. It looked like the had thread sealer on them when I took them off.
We did not mark the shaft position when we removed the front drive shaft? Can this be an issue? I was wondering thread sealer? Anti-seez? or maybe Blue removable Loctite? Blue Loctite seems to be the answer Does anybody know the torque spec for the bolts? SHAFT-PROPELLER FRONT REMOVAL REMOVAL – 2.8L DIESEL 1. With vehicle in neutral, position vehicle on hoist. 2.
