Torque settings - Torque tube to gearbox clamp?
Torque settings - Torque tube to gearbox clamp?
Hi, haynes isn't very clear but does anyone know the torque settings for the 2 allen-key bolts on the torque tube clamp? I found one setting which said 72Nm. Seems a little high

they're std M10 thread and 10.9 tensile so yes 72Nm is correct

Ok that's good then 
Thought I'd over-tightened them. Thanks mr D-spec.

Wooahh! Haynes says 34Nm 'propeller shaft clamp bolts B19 +B200 34Nm'
You have over tightened them, I would renew the bolts now.

huh? i thought you ment the 4 allen bolts that bolt the torquetube to the gearbox
the clamp that joins the gearbox input shaft to the prise axle is indeed 2x 34/35Nm
