Center "chunk" carrier torque values

[40grit]

Ok, so I'm installing an Ouverson locker, I get to the re-assembly part, reading TM-9-2320-209-34-2-1 page 10-90...frame 22

It says...
5. line up center punch marks on carrier case assembly(7) and helical gear(1) and put them together....
6. put in eight bolts(
7. put on eight nuts (9), aline(nice spelling there!!) holes in nuts with holes in bolts (
8. Put on safety wire (10) thru eight nuts (9) and bolts (
Go to frame 23.....

hello, what torque? is there a value someone knows of ? Or is it, tighten to 1 grunt and back off to align holes?
thanks guys

hhhmmm 34LB should do it.

where did you get 34#

 

[mangus580]

there is a standard torque # for the size bolt you are using. I am not sure if thats where RDD got his #'s, but I would look up your bolt size online, and see if you can find a recommended torque for it.

I would contact Randy from Oueverson Engineering. I know he's always usually super busy, but he's a great guy, and would probably be able to tell you what to use.

that it more or less and some help from my marine diesel engine book.

Thats fine, but how can you come to any conclusion without having the bolt size? Lets not mislead someone with this.....

 

[red devils dude]

if its the one I think it is I found a parts diagram on a rock crawler web site and made a guess.

 

[40grit]

on the rockwell axle, there are 8 bolts, 9/16-18 grade 8, that hold the 2 halves of the final drive gear assembly together, the locker is in the middle of these two halves...it's not a ouverson part, it's stock rockwell...so, if it was a grade 5, it would be 120-150 ft-lbs....I can't seem to find the grade 8 chart...

 

[FSBruva]

Table 1.1 in your same manual has the torque requirements for each of the bolt sizes.

The procedure you're looking at is shown in TM 9-2320-361-34 (dated 1992; supercedes 9-2320-209-34-1 and all the 9-2320-209-34-2-#)

page 10-30..

Tighten nuts [18] 130-167 lb (176-227 N.m)
