I put this together so you’ll only need this page for most torque specs to replace rear main seal, flywheel, clutch or manual transmission.

I left off simple items like slave cylinder, downpipe and other small brackets/miscellaneous items.


Rear main seal 7-9 ftlbs
Oil pan bolts 5 ftlbs
Flywheel bolts 35, 75 then 100ftlbs - red thread lock
Pressure Plate bolts 18-22ftlbs - blue thread lock

Manual transmission - blue thread lock
Rear bolt 12mm 22-25 ftlbs
3x 14mm bolts 31-40 ftlbs

Drain plug 24mm 22-25 ftlbs
Fill plug 17mm 22-25 ftlbs

Starter bolts 20-25 ftlbs

Mount
Bracket to transmission 43-58 ftlbs
Through bolt 43-58 ftlbs
To frame 29-36 ftlbs

Transfer case 40-43 ftlbs

Drain/fill 22-25 ftlbs

Gusset 51-58 ftlbs

Right member
3x 17mm bolts up front 58-72 ftlbs
Center long 14mm 51-58 ftlbs
Rear short 14mm 51-58 ftlbs

Driver side axle carrier to block 26-33 ftlbs

Struts to knuckle 80-101 ftlbs

Tie rod 17-25 ftlbs

Axle nut 144-188 ftlbs

Thanks for putting this together, I am doing this all now and it will be super handy.

In case anyone else is determined to torque everything to spec, here are the additional ones you mentioned:

Clutch release ("slave") cylinder: 11-15 ft/lbs
Clutch release cylinder banjo: 14-18 ft/lbs

Downpipe to O2 nut: 29-43 ft/lbs
Downpipe "hanger" nut: 22-29 ft/lbs (usually only on a stock downpipe)

In case you remove the brake calipers from the hub:
Brake caliper bolt: 58-72 ft/lbs

All specs from the FSM.

Good call. I forgot the caliper and bracket

Caliper bracket 65 ftlbs
 
Once you bolt the slave, make sure the fork rests towards the drivers side of the window. Mine was dead center and now I have to shim it more.

I can't for some reason and I notice on some posts you can't edit.

Can you please change below on the first post?

Flywheel bolts 35, 75 then 100ftlbs
Pressure Plate bolts 18-22ftlbs

Thanks, Marty!!
 
Take a look and make sure it reads how you want it Tony.
I have found that the "Edit" time, sometimes runs out if you don't notice a error pretty quickly, but I can always fix it for any member if needed. :thumb:
