Aussie Torque Specs VS toyota FSM? Which to believe?
Unless I am completely misunderstanding something here...
I just installed my aussie locker. The Aussie installation booklet told me to torque the 8 bolts holding the case together at 50 ft lbs. The FSM says to 35 ft lbs. The FSM is 1988 specific. But it has diagrams for both the 2 pinion(4cyl?) and 4 pinion(6cyl?). But where is has the torque specs for those 8 case bolts, it does not say for which diff. I swapped in v6 diffs into my rig, and that is what I bought aussie for also.
I torqued them to 50.
Any input?
Also, I might just end up taking it to someone because I did not mark the bearing caps, and I would not even know where to start on how to set the back lash and stuff....poop on my parade

If you didn't change the gears you shouldn't have to set any backlash or anything. When I did mine all I did was pull out the spider gears and install the Aussie as per the specs that came with it. Have you looked at the installs over at Zuks site?

thanks both for the replies and help. After reading a little more, and reading a couple of your write ups. I guess the 4 cyl diff doesn't split like the 6 cyl diff. So that answers one of my questions. . thanks
