[pro-streeter]

Hello all,
Looking for the torque specs for the third member to housing bolts and which stud the ratio tag is typically on. Also need the torque for the axle to housing flange. U-joint strap torque and housing u-bolts. Thanks for any information you can provide

I trust you are talking about a 8 3/4 rear end. So with that here you go but keep in mind these are from the '69 Svc manual. Your mileage and results may vary.

1.) Svc tag don't know.
2.) Axle "U" bolts = 45 ft lbs. Do not over tighten.
3.) Carrier to Axle housing nuts = 45 ft lbs.
4.) Bushing clamps (for U joint) = 170 in lbs.
5.) Axle retainer nuts = 30-35 ft lbs. Start tightening from bottom nut.

Hope that helps.
