What to torque it to?, 6 hexhead inner cv bolts Options

[6gsillyca]

EDIT:

Can someone please tell me what the 6 hexhead bolts should be torqued to? My manual lists:

hub nut - 137 ft-lbs
driveaxle inner cv joint-to-differential side gear shaft flange - 27 ft-lbs
right driveaxle centre bearing bracket bolts - 47

None of these seem correct, but since my axles are *non-stock* I'm not sure what the technical part term would be for them.

END EDIT




I need to replace my outer cv boot. I was looking into getting a new axle shaft, because I have read it is easier to RnR the whole axle rather than individual parts (axle, cv joint, cv boot etc). Then you also shouldn't need to worry about any damage to your joint because of the craked boot.

I need to know what parts to order though. Cv boot is on the front pass wheel. Would the axle half come with both inners and outers, and then would I need to RnR the inner with the e153 inner from my current set-up?

Would someone be able to explain what the inner and outer axles are, and how/where the inner attaches to the outer?

Here is a link to my thread in another sextion, but I thought the boosted guys might know the e153/st185 axles a bit better.

Yes, all you need to do is unbolt the six 8mm recessed hex bolts from the transmission side, and undo the 30mm axle nut and you'll have the axle ready to remove.

From there, undo the two 17mm nuts and one 17mm bolt that fasten the ball joint to the A-arms and you can swing the whole hub away just enough to work the axle out from the hub splines and seperate the outer axle assembly from the inner axle stub. You don't have to take out the stub, that stays in the transmission.


But definately get just an entirely new outer axle and bolt it in. Its a quick job and most auto stores charge about $75 for a new one with a core trade in.



Good luck.
