T2 1974: Torque Settings for the CV joints? (misplaced the manual!!!)

Hi,

Does anybody have the torque settings for the CV joints?
We have misplaced the manual.... very annoying

Great having a lost manual when you have drained the gearbox....
Think the gearbox oil should be 80W90...
And about 3 litres to refill....

Any information would be really helpful.....

Thanks Jude & John

 

25 ft. lbs from memory.

 

Yes 25ft lbs then re check all after a run

 

Yep, 25 or 28 ft lb.

 

PS Put new serrated washers on

 

Castrol Syntrans Transaxle 75w-90 is better than a generic 80w-90. You need about 3.5 litres for a refill – it depends on how much is left in the box when you drain it.

 

^this x 100. Stick it in

 

Thank you all so much for the Great Information.... this helps us out so much.

Anybody know torque settings for the rear shocks - top bolt & lower bolt & nut?



[Been having a nightmare replacing seals on the gearbox - thought it was a 1974 .... turned out to be earlier 002 - 3 rib box..... were told it was a 1968..... ordered the 68 seals - they were the wrong size.... also told to get special washers.... tried to fit with special washers..... only to find out this box had a spacer behind the flange!!!! massive headache - finally all sorted]

 

They where made using metric units use them, otherwise mistakes are made.
45 Nm for the CV joint bolts.
