Torque specs for center section ?? Contradiction

[Bill Elliott]

When installing center section instructions first stated 100 lb ft. At the end of the section for the IRS a table shows 129 lb ft. Why two different specs? I can't believe after all the many people putting these together that this hasn't been caught. So which do I go by.

Anywhere in the 100 to 129 range and you'll be fine. I think I split the difference and went in around 110-115. It's not going anywhere. You'll find the same type of error on the front/rear banjo bolts. Just don't torque them to 29/32 ft/lbs or you'll get a snap! Just snug and tighten as needed. :)

I agree w/ CV2065.

I looked at the generic bolt torque guide, 5/8 is 100 ft-lbs
