Bulkhead bolt torque setting

**one_iota** · 10th November 2021, 07:18 AM

I need to undo and retighten the nuts on the bulkhead lower bolts to install rock sliders.

I can't find the torque settings in the GTR workshop manual or in this place by way of a search.

Can anyone help?

From memory the bolt size is M12

If Land Rover don’t have a number than the default torque is around 100Nm for grade 8.8, that’s what I’d go with if I was to use a torque wrench.

Thank you that was very helpful.

As a result, I've had a closer look at the bolt and it is an M12 but it is a Class 10.9 rather than 8.8. So the wisdom of the internet suggests a torque setting of 135 Nm is the right one.
