Hey,
I just was taking out shims in back for first time, and I need two answers. I used to know the torque those three bolts go to, I can't find any record of it in the books or search here. Also, I'm down to 2mm of shim on right side, and the bolts 'seem' to bottom out before squeezing the parts together. Could that be because of corrosion from never having bolt up there that far in 30 years? Or do I need to put a few mm of washers on the bolts? Maybe both? I have to get the thing back together. Over a year ago I put in the plastic bushings, didn't have any problem like this although I didn't take any shims out then. Thanks a lot! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |

Run a tap up into the holes to clear out any rust at the top of the threads. Then use some Never-seize on the bolts.
I think the torque is around 30-35 lb-ft. |
