Rearend Maintenance Checkup

The ring gear bolts should be torqued to 70 lb-ft, which is practically impossible to do by holding the center section in your hands. You can use a vise to hold the assembly still while torquing the bolts, just make sure to use a pair of soft jaws (either brass or aluminum) in the vise and avoid clamping against the ring gear any tighter than necessary.
