My Leyland Pubs Repair Ops Manual for my spit specifies 26-34 flbs for the
prop shaft to universal nuts/bolts, I would suspect it should be the same
for the half axles.

some fellow TR6'ers. I followed Bentley's for the proper torque wrench
settings.

differential, but I can't find the proper torque wrench setting, or maybe
Bentley calls it something I don't recognize. I tried 70 foot/pounds and
ended up stripping the threads. I had to then back them all out and they
are all now questionable. Into the trash they went. Lesson
learned....tighter is not necessarily better.

nuts that attach the half shaft to the side of the differential?
