Anyone esle get tired of flicking through your manual looking for torgue settings, thought maybe we could have a thread that you just add to and at the end we can all print the list. Lets see how this goes

Lower front shock absorber nut, 22 -25 lb ft

Lower front shock absorber nut, 22 -25 lb ft
front beam to chassis bolts, 65 -72 lb ft

Gland nut 220ft.lbs

And remember it turns anti clockwise

Spark Plugs - 15lbs

What is the torqe for the oil drain plug & the smaller bolts?

Are these settings for all years of bus?

Can somebody please confirm what are the torque setting for wheel nuts for:

1. Adaptors to wheels?
2. Wheels to hubs?

Lower front shock absorber nut, 22 -25 lb ft
front beam to chassis bolts, 65 -72 lb ft

Disc brake caliper bolts Bay 104-126 ft lbs
Wheel bolts 72 ft lbs
Rear axle hub nut T1 based 220 ft lbs
Rear axle T2 based 253 ft lbs


spark plugs 22-29 lb ft
Flywheel gland nut 220 ft lbs not T4
Fan nut & generator pulley nut 44 ft lbs
Crankshaft pulley T1, T2, T3 32-36 ft lbs, T4 44 ft lbs
Oil drain plug 25 ft lbs, T4 16 ft lbs
Clutch mounting bolts 18 ft lbs

steering arm bolt - beam centre pin = 47 to 54 ft. lbs. or 65-75 Nm

Hi, just found this list at the site below.
The list is copied and pasted so any errors are theirs not mine.

Hope this helps,
