Hi all. I misread the torque spec for the “drive flange expansion bolt” and over torqued it. Have now removed that bolt without it snapping. Since this bolt is really just holding the splined drive flange on, I’m inclined to think that an ‘ordinary’ M10x1.5 bolt of the oem hardness (8.8) will do the job as a replacement - unless i can get a new oem one promptly and cheaply
Any compelling views to the contrary? Thanks Dave |

Thanks Dave Here you go. Page 25 has the torque specs. Those bolts are the expandable type and prob should not be reuse. I haven't tried to find any nos bolts so I have used old ones with no issues. http://p914-6info.net/PDFs/Group%203%20transmission.pdf |

Hi Luke thanks for your reply. Yes, i have the torque specs - just read the wrong item and overtorqued it, stopping when i felt it begin to yield. Since I felt it yield I’m very reluctant to use it again. So am thinking about options.
Any more views, opinions, suggestions etc much appreciated. Cheers Dave |
