torque arm bolts
Got new torque arm bolts from Spohn.
Could use accurate torque specs, and whether to use Locktite, antisieze, or nothing.
Also, what torque reduction with any lube?
Iirc torque should be around 102 ft. lbs dry. No way to torque the nut as far as I can see so it would be bolt head torque.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Re: torque arm bolts
Torque arm bracket to transmission bolts should be 31 Ft-lbs.
Torque arm to rear axle bracket bolts should be 100 Ft-lbs.
No locktite. No anti-seize.
Torque arm to rear axle bracket bolts should be 100 Ft-lbs.
No locktite. No anti-seize.

Re: torque arm bolts
That will work,I had read 102 for, the big ones in the Haynes manual. The bolts go through the bottom an the torque wrench goes on the bolt head and not the nut though, right?? Some bolts require torque at the nut to prevent twist on the bolt shaft.
If that was the case, the rear would have to come out again. Or at least be dropped a mile to get the long bolts in.
