1965 Drive Shaft & Half Shaft U-bolt Toque Specifications

[James W.]

Attached is a picture of the 1965 AIM Page E127. I am in the process of re-assembling the drive shaft yoke to the drive shaft. My AIM copy is too distorted to clearly see what the torque specification is for the drive shaft u-bolt nuts, item #10 and the half shaft u-bolt nuts, item #6. I think #6 is 14 -18 lbs.ft. and item #10 is also 14 -18 lbs.ft. as seem on the torque specs. Can someone with a more clear copy verify what the torque specs for those nuts should be?


Thanks in advance.

Nut #6 (103026) is torqued to 14-18 lb ft. Nut #10 (102634) is torqued to 12-15 lb ft. So, basically the same for both.
