Differential drain TQ

[jetmechmarty]

I don't have access to my manual and I need the torque value for the drain plugs on the gear boxes. A quick search didn't turn anything up.

Thanks for the help again!

'81H manual shows 31 ft/lbs on the middle-16.5 ft/lbs on the final.Probably over 100 ft/lbs to get 'em off!

Just use the German torque...Gooduntite! No really, just tighten them until they snap, the back them off 1/4 turn.

I use a 36 inch breaker bar to put them on. When I strip the heads out I know that they're tight enough.
