But figures in it appear contradictory. Page 194 says tighten bearing caps to 135NM but the summary on page 201 says diff bearing caps 90NM. Am I reading it correctly?
Also crown wheel bolt figure of 58 NM seems very low for a 12mm bolt.
Anyone got figures from another source?

G'day Ian,
Bearing cap torque figure is 126-142 nm so 135 is spot on. Crown wheel bolts are almost identical at 129 - 142 nm. Those figures come from an ADF EMEI publication.
