Torque setting prop shaft yoke nut

Post by Wocha » Tue Nov 14, 2017 1:52 pm

I have searched in vain through the manuals for the torque setting for the nut that holds the front prop shaft universal joint yoke to the transfer box.(In the manual its called the "companion flange nut". Page 80 TM 10-1513 item 29). Can someone help please?

I don't have one in front of right now, but I think the TM 9-803 might have that spec for you.
