Metric Bolt Specs
Hope this helps - I can't remember the size of the bolts that hold the torque tube to the differential, or the grade but, I would assume they are 8.8 If the head is 10mm it is a 6mm bolt If the head is 13mm it is a 8mm bolt If the head is 15 (or 16) is will be a 10mm bolt Multiply by 12 to get inch lbs. As far as the filler plug is concerned, most people just get it snug enough so it doesn't leak. Hope this helps, Tom |

They are supposed to be M8 - 8.8.
No specific settings for the filler plug - just screw it in. Dieter

Because of their location it is extremely difficult to get a torque wrench on these bolts, I did it by "mechanics feel". Do you have a very small torque wrench and/or how are you planning on doing this?
