Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Well that blows.

 

FTFY

Moby Dick references are always relevant and timely.

 

I hope he isn't salty.









Because ocean.

What is that gonna do?

@Porter707 was just showing he still has mud stuck everywhere from the one time he tore across a field.

 

defiantly want to use one of these. what was the torque on those nuts again, I think it was pretty low if I remember right. I need to look it up soon as I will be swapping mine out soon.

 

I googled salty whales but this is better:

 

18lbs

At least that's the rumor.

 

Turd gen was 18 ft lb/33 ft lb depending on axle.

 

It would likely be easy to snug those up with a torque wrench as others have suggested but I would cosnider having the dealer do it, then it is on record and their problem (kinda) if something goes wrong in the future. Perhaps check the level of fluid. Though I doubt it is low some might have seeped out before the leak slowed.

 

I used mine to knock the mud off, its heavy enough to really get the job done

 

I read here that the 33ft lbs was a miss print. It was closer to 25ish.

But it is the internet. Check your Mitchell's or service manual.

 

When service manuals are online.

 

Doubtful. Toyota would never miss print a service manual. *cough leaf springs cough*

 

Aw shit. WTF Toyota.

 

I'm going to address the T&A and the shearing in a single post.

@Porter707 here is the pic* of the rear end service manual.

18ft-lbs for OR 8.75" if I'm reading it correctly
