Amazon: - Torque settings.

Quarterless · Jun 7th, 2013, 09:50

Hi There,
Is there a more comprehensive list of torque settings than those in the Haynes manual. I am in the process of checking my bolts are still tight and the manual seems a bit vague. For example it only lists one torque setting for the front end ball joint when there are also four bolts holding it on.
Thanks
James

Haynes just repeats what's in the Green books but there maybe some missing. Nowdays, many of the nuts are replaced with nylocks, including the ones you mention. At a guess these should be fine at 40-45 ft/lbs as long as the mating surfaces are clean and rust free. The castle nut is 35-40 plus split pin if that is what you have.

If all else fails maybe this will help. Unfortunately I didn't make a note of the source:

Thanks guys.
You mention the workshop manuals. Do you have any details on what ones relate to the estate so I can try getting hold of them as well?

The workshop manuals cover the estate as 2 Door and 4 door saloons, there is no seperate manual for estates the only difference obviously is the rear body and fittings and the rear axle/suspension. The club sell a cd rom of Amazon workshop manuals £25.00 to members £30.00 to non members contact Chris Wickers clwickers@aol.com they will be on sale at the National Rally on Sunday 16th Hatton Country World CV35 8XA
