Eaton rear differential housing and axle torque specs

Looking for the suggested torque specs for the rear differential chunk and the axles, on an Eaton rear drive.

 

Just get a bolt torque chart. torque them to the torque for grade 8 course thread bolts that size. That is one thing that I never saw anyone torque but nothing wrong with being proper.

 

Pretty sure on a Rockwell with 5/8 studs and fine thread nuts the chunk is around 220
Axles with 5/8 studs and tapered cones are considerably less probably around 180
Can’t really say I’ve ever worried to much about it mainly because torquing the chunks with any accuracy is going to be pretty tough

 

4 to 5 ugha duga’s with a Milwaukee 1/2 drive

 

That’s what I was thinking. When it quits oozing the black permatex out, we good.

 

Don’t use the black use the Red or blue there 2 on studs on top that you have to use a box end wrench I’ve always just doubled wrenched those 2 nuts

 

Why??? Used the black permatex from the calking tube for years can’t say I have ever had a problem
Is red or blue better?

 

The different shops I’ve been around all refuse to use the black permatex for anything especially anything having to do with sealing two machined surfaces I was always told that it’s not as pliable and tends to dry and crack I know of two shops in the local area that refuse to even have it in their shops one of them being the local JD dealer the other is a good friend of mine I’am not saying he is god but he would run anybody out of his shop if he seen them using black permatex I know of others myself included that won’t use the black for anything

 

I can get to and on all the nuts with a 1/2” impact.

 

Clean flanges with denatured alcohol. Ultra grey permatex. Locktite the threads . Red or blue you pick. Stalled half inch gun is sufficient. 250 or so.
