Thread: Salisbury torque settings

Dunno about a 101 but for a Defender:

TORQUE VALUES
NOTE: Torque wrenches should be regularly checked for accuracy to ensure that all fixings are tightened to the correct torque.

REAR AXLE
Pinion housing to axle case 41Nm
Crown wheel to differential case 58Nm
Differential bearing cap to pinion housing 90Nm
Differential drive flange to drive shaft 47Nm
Bevel pinion nut 129 Nm
Lower link to axle 176 Nm.
Pivot bracket ball joint to axle 176 Nm.

Actually, let me check that as the manual shows both the Rover diff and the Salisbury. It's unclear to which of these the figures apply. I'll double check with my old printed Defender manual.

Cheers ron just what i was after. ive been told the deefer and the 101 settings are the same but im sure if they are not i will soon find out. my fancy manual has everything except the important stuff.

They look right. The 1994 printed manual give a range centred on those figures. If you want them, I'll give them to you.

Can someone tell me which one of those settings is for the 8 bolts that hold the two diff halves together?

Anyone? I've been searching high and low to find a manual that has them in for a Series 3. I've had people give me settings from 56NM to 100NM. I've totally lost all confidence now...

Found them....
