    Just did a CV boot replacement, clean & repack.

    Can anyone tell me the torque spec for the CV bolts. It couldn't be as much as it took to get them off :)

    thanks,
    chris

    I was trying to go back into my notes to find the number...but for some reason, 60ft/lbs seems to ring a bell.

    The shop manual states that the torque should be 8 da N;m (kgm) which I believe translates to 57.864 Foot pounds (meters kilogram x 7.233)

    Steve is correct (57 ft-lbs) and 60 is close enough! They seem awfully small to be that tight, but that's what Enzo says!
