    Hi,
    Can someone help me, I have a 3rd gen SR5 tacoma and the rear diff is seeping and I need to figure out the torque specs of the 10 bolts.
    I've looked through the posts and some people stated it should be 18ft lbs, 32ft lbs, or 54ft lbs. So I'm a little confused, and I don't want to over torque it.

    Thanks for your help!

    Per the factory service manual, the differential carrier to the axle housing is torqued to 33ft*lbs regardless of locker or non-locker.
