SUPRASUZUKI Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Doing a fluid service this weekend, got all the info I need except the torque figure for the diff drain plug. Searched but couldn't find it. What's the figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Christ sake man don't be so anal - screw it 'til it gets tight then give it a 1/4 turn nip LOL:d i have the same reaction to all this whats the torque figure for!! don't think i have touched a torque wrench for years other than to rebuild an engine, and that was just con rod, crank and flywheel bolts;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 lol Ricky - sounds familiar. Yeah for stuff like you mention and we do have 4 torque wrenches for cross referencing when torquing the serious stuff but for most things torque can be felt and that's accurate enough Cheers, Brian.

SUPRASUZUKI Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 Thanks, I could have "guessed" that. I just thought in the technical section there would be a technical answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 You'd be best ordering a set of workshop manuals from CJ if you want torque specs for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 According to the tech manual it is 49Nm for both drain and fill plugs. Must admit though getting the torque wrench out for that one's a bit much even for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRASUZUKI Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 Thanks forthe info Simon. I know what you and the other guys mean, but using a torque wrench too often can't be a bad thing, can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I must admit its kind of a leaned thing, but also requires an aptitude/mechanical feel, call it what you will, and i guess some people need to use a torque wrench as they can never develope this, i know people that will shear bolts left right and centre and others that need to use locktite all the time, otherwise they would leave a trail of nuts and bolts:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
