    I have been blown away by the support shown by the members of the forum - thanks everyone.
    Just one more query.
    I am putting the diff centre back into the axle housing. I want to torque the bolts down onto the paper gasket ( I choose to use non hardening gasket maker). The question is what would you torque the nuts to? The manual doesn’t list it - the engineers table gives about 40 foot pounds for a 3/8 bolt.
    Should I just do it to this or is there a list of torque values I’m missing?
    Richard.

    I don't know if torque figures exist.
    I've always tightened in a sequence (like doing up head bolts) to pull it together evenly. Then tighten till I feel it's 'right'.
    Problem is it takes years to develop the 'feel' and is difficult to explain.

    Thanks Colin - as I thought. I’ll just use the engineers tables. It tends to give me an even tightening on a sequence of bolts.

    I think Colin is right on the existence of torque figures. As far as I know, the only torque figures published for Series vehicles was the head bolts. For what it is worth, my 90/110 manual has seven pages of torque settings - but nothing for the diff centre into the axle housing, which would be the same as the Series.

    Silly question time!
    Later in the week I should have the bearings,seals and gaskets to put the rear axle together.
    I took numerous photos, but none show the ‘direction’ of the brake backing plate. By that I mean does the adjusting snail face forward or to the rear? It may not make a difference, but I can’t take a chance. I can see if I get it wrong I will have to correct it four times!

    Just did some work on the snail on my L/H rear wheel on 110 county the other day. It was positioned looking at it exactly as it is looking at your pic. (as if your backing plate in on the L/H rear axle. Not sure if series is same, but imagine so...someone else will know. 2x snails on mine btw.

    Cam to the front.
    The adjustment & spring is on the leading shoe.
    The trailing shoe gets pushed away from the drum (in forward motion). The leading shoe, without a spring fitted, could jam on.

    Thanks Gordie and Colin. That’s what I thought, but couldn’t afford to get it wrong.

    I made the mistake my cam adjusters are to the rear on all four wheels😖


    Car stops and passed roadworthy................but next time I'd get it right,found the manual very ambiguous as to backing plate orientation

    What part of East Gippsland are you?

    Cheers Paul
