BlackBeaut Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hi folks, I'm in the process of swapping an lsd in to an R200, any guidelines on the torque settings for the ring gear bolts (10mm) and the bearing cap bolts. BTW would I be right in guessing that some form of thread locking glue is used on the ring gear bolts? They were an absolute pita to undo and there seems to be some residue in the bolt holes.

BlackBeaut Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 Come on guys, someone's got to know this?!!! BTW turns out the ring gear bolts are 12mm, it's just that the ones from the LSD diff are 13mm which made me think it was the old 10mm/12mm setup - nothing like a bit of consistency eh?!!!

Ezzie Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Well the FSM for the R200 LSD in the '87 Z31 Turbo indicates around 110 ft-lbs. for the ring gear bolts. I don't have the manual handy but the carrier to housing bolts are a bit less than that - somewhere around 70 - 85 lbs. if memory serves me right. This is for the 12mm. bolts so I don't know whether the 10mm. bolts are the same. The FSM also says to locktite the ring gear to the carrier and the ring gear bolts with red or threadlocker. When tightening the ring gear bolts down, do it in stages odf 70/90/110 in a criss-cross fashion to reduce any chance of warping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcarnut Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 12mm ring gear bolts: 98 to 112 ft-lbs (use Locktite RED) Side bearing cap bolts: 65-72 ft-lbs Rear cover bolts: 12-17 ft-lbs Drive pinion nut: 137-217 ft-lbs (check pre-load after tightening) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
