Socket to borrow & tech info please!

[ianlea73]

Has anyone local got a socket that will fit the driveshaft nut on the S13 rear hub assembly please.I have the parts stripped so if need be I can bring the hub to them.
I thought my stuff was big enough but only go upto a 30mm or 1 1/4 inch.
Any help whenever possible wud be great thanks.:notworthy
Also what are the torque settings for the case bolts on the diff for the S13?
Thanks gang!

i've got a 34mm impact socket somewhere, honcking gret big thing but does the job (or will do if the hub nut is 34mm :D)

[mattlake]

[ianlea73]

Thanks Matt,I'll go over to Shaboy's & rob his though as he's just upp tu road(Northern accent!)
Any idea on torque settings?

[mattlake]

i can check the manual when i get home if you like

[shaboy]

i'll try and find it for you then, i'm off to the garage after work and i know it's in there.....some where :smash:

Right had a look in the manual, looks like they're stud and nut the same as turbo elbow,
so 88-118Nm (65-87ft-lb) :thumbs:

The bolts I'm on about are the ally case bolts that fix the ally end case to the diff housing.Think there's 8 of them.There not stud & nut though!But that maybe the ones that hold the diff to the subframe.If so I needed those too.

[VoodooRhythm]

Yeah thats the ones I was looking at, but here's the pic from the manual,

It's the stud/nut in the top right I'm looking at, don't think they could be anything else on there, maybe your's have been replaced at some point??

[VoodooRhythm]

Just checked, that is the case bolts as the diff to subframe is under rear axle and they need 43-55 Nm (57-72ft-lb) :thumbs:

Aye, my socket set for the tractors I use at work are stupid, just swinging a few of those around wears you out within mins!
