dmax lover 12-22-2004, 06:10 PM After having my driver's side rear axle seal replaced - it is leaking around the flange. The dealer said that this doesn't have a torque spec - but everything has a torque spec. (doesn't it?). Anybody know what the torque should be for these bolts?. I need to have another go at it with a bigger torque wrench. thanks, jeff eds04max 12-23-2004, 10:28 PM 80 lb. .....IIRC eds04max 01-19-2005, 06:22 AM oops!!!..........I didn't remember correctly...sorry...rear axle bolt torque is 148 ft/lb. dmaxalliTech 01-19-2005, 08:52 AM torque spec and a gasket..

Someone else mentioned to me that they had the same problem and they just retorqued the bolts on the flange. Is the flange the center cap with about 6-8 bolts in it? Is that advisable? My concern is once the grease has penetrated the seal it may continue to leak. It's coming out at a pretty fast rate from I can tell. I'm running 75w140 GM synthetic. I also read that I should check the vent line. Is it on top of the axle? JJ :) | ||
