I can't find the torque specs for that arm that the snub mounts sits on.

Default I can't find the torque specs for that arm that the snub mounts sits on.

<center><img src="http://www.bahnburnr.net/galleryimages/s6012.jpg"></center><p>I'm wanting to replace my snub mount, but I've got to remove this arm first (silver in the pic). I have no idea what the torque values should be, and my Bently manual isn't helping either. I've searched the forums, the internet, everywhere.

Could somebody help me out? Thanks.

Default Like all fasteners...

...tighten until fastener strips, then back off 1/8th turn.



Sorry, I don't know the answer, either.

How are so many people doing this job without knowing torque values?

Default "OK, that feels tight enough."

Unsatisfied with that answer?

Me too.

But it works for A LOT of folks.

Default Ok, here's what I've found

The bracket that the snub mounts sits inside is torqued to the frame at 33 ft lbs. I found this described in a section of the Bentley manual about removing the transmission (go figure). The torque for the actual mount arm is not listed anywhere, but in one section of the Bentley manual it says that M8 bolts should generally be torqued to 15 ft lbs. I guess that's the best info I'm going to get.
