Torque spec
Posted: Wed Jul 20, 2022 6:51 pm
I'm looking for the torque spec of this bolt as you see on this pic, framed by the red star.
Just to set the context in case in wouldn't be obvious, that bolt is at the end of that shaft pointed at by the green arrow, which goes straight to the torsion bar. One on each side of the transmission.
Thing is, one side is loose, and I've been looking without success for the torque spec. But not only that, I was only able to turn it in a little more and it wouldn't turn no more, while there is still enough room for the washer to move freely
I see two pictures in the shop manual of my '68 Beetle where I can see this bolt, but nowhere in the book do they mention anything about it (as far as I know anyway).
Thanks!
