Torque Spec Reference List

[Ducati1098]

If what I found is correct the slide pins are 21 ft lb and 46 ft lb for the retainer. Hope someone @Ducati1098 can confirm.

Caliper: 48 front, 22 rear
Bracket bolts are 111 front and rear

Would you be able to provide a whole list of torque specs specific to the Bronco Raptor like the OP showed in the first post of the thread for the regular Bronco? I have searched this site and the internet, and it doesn’t seem like there is a comprehensive list anywhere for the Raptor suspension parts.

I just added the FMI Raptor rear shock skids and there are 2 bolts that hold the rear shock lower bracket to the rear axle. Their instructions say to “torque to factory specs”….. but no one can tell me what that is. Any other suspension specs would be helpful also for future mods, if available.

I really don’t have the time to do something like this.

There’s plenty of places online where you can purchase the workshop manual/repair manuals. This is probably a good one for Bronco specific. You likely won’t find one that’s Raptor only, but it should still included.

However I did look for the specific bracket bolts you’re referring to, and they don’t appear to show the removal or torque specs for that bracket anywhere in the factory workshop manual

Thanks for the info and for looking. I assumed a few pages in the factory repair manual looked like what the OP originally posted and would be an easy cut/paste. I wasn’t trying to offend and I appreciate all the amazing info you always bring to the table.

I have seen manuals for purchase similar to the link you posted, but am afraid I’ll make the purchase and the torque info is still not in there for the Raptor, especially since you don’t see it in the factory manual.

Thanks again for checking your available info!

Heh. My buddy has a high end Porsche. It requires 450 ft lbs (I think) on the single lug nut. He has the torque wrench for it. It’s huge! 3/4” ratchet heads. Used that on my rear shock mounts. Still hard to torque as it’s so long you don’t get a lot of movement with the Bronco on the ground.

I used to do some work for NASA. We had a bolt on the Orbiter (a payload trunnion bolt made of inconnel) that was rated for 60,000 ft/lbs. Required a machine on a crane to be installed.

Well, I can't beat that....but I used to build the newer BMY deuce and a half 6x6 military trucks, and the yoke nut on the tail of the Alison transmission was 650 ft/lbs. We used a torque multiplier with a normal 1/2" torque wrench to torque it off. The multiplier made it "feel" like about ~80 ft/lbs. Pretty handy tool for those super high torque values.

The nuts on a ship that hold the screws (propellers) on are called pilgrim nuts. When we went up the river to Bangkok one of the screws was damaged.

When we got back to Subic Bay the screw had to be replaced. We didn't go into dry dock. Instead the work was done pier side.

First they removed the pilgrim nut. Not sure how much torque but the shaft had to handle 35,000 HP. I remember divers using dynamite to break the screw (propeller) loose after the pilgrim nut was removed.

For the rear differential cover, if I am just loosening to drain and fill do/should I replace the 12 diff cover bolts? Part# KB3Z4346A @ $5.62 a piece. (2022 Base Sasquatch 2.3 MT)

Google says yes. Just didn’t know if this was overkill.

They talk about it in this thread by @CarbonSteel - I think the consensus is yes but I don’t remember for sure, but the reading and discussion is worth it.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

I'm not saying don't replace them - do that if you want to. $5.62 x 10 + 2 of whatever the stud bolts for the brake clips are - seems criminal. Nothing special about those bolts.

They aren't really carrying any stress and they aren't in the fluid - so no real reason to replace them if the look fine. The brake clips are the most difficult part of the entire process. I've taken my cover off and on about 10 times by now, and I still have the factory bolts, factory gasket ~and~ the factory brake clips. 60k+ miles now.

The plug - they do recommend replacing that - but only because they don't trust you to use teflon tape or pipe sealant. Again, it's low torque, and while it is in the oil it's not under any pressure - just a couple wraps of teflon tape or a little bit of pipe dope and it'll seal right up as long as the magnet cleans up and the threads are in good shape.

Biggest danger is over torquing any of these bolts moreso than anything else

So, don't let me dissuade you - there probably is a good reason to use new hardware every time. But I don't see it for the cover bolts on my own rig.

Anyone have the torque specs for the spare tire carrier itself, for the bolts to the tailgate?

(not the spare wheel)

I'm trying to cover bases for the tailgate click back there.
