I know, was just curious as to whether it would be worth replacing the press fit bolts. I will find out the crown wheel nuts torque. There is no thread lock on the std one, but it's probably worth a dab if quaife say so.

Either way I'll put all this in a guide to continue from Pauls.

Yeah i lock tighted mine when i did them. Would be iterested to see what the torque settings are meant to be. Might change mine for new ones if i have over tightened mine @ 60ft/lb! See what you can find Dan - i struggled to get the figure from anyone!!! I thought i would do them to 45-50ft/lb but it didnt feel tight enough so i wound thema bit further!!!

Yes, getting the figure isn't easy, but I got it  ;)

Crown wheel nuts should be 70 Nm or 51.6 Lb/ft.

I didn't think they would be mega tight as I undid them with a 3/8" drive knuckle bar.

New press fit bolts are 2.59 ea !
New nuts are 4.17 ea !
both plus VAT.

Guide will follow shortly...
