Diff bracket bolt help

(1/2) > >>

addy:
Can anyone help me? I have got a replacement, diff for the 2ltr Omega. It didn't come with the front bracket. So I was going to use the bracket off the old diff I am taking off. I have read that the 3 bolts have to be replaced? I have looked everywhere for new ones, but can only find, ones removed from diffs in Russia.  Can these bolts be reused, as from what I have read they are torqued and angle tightened? Or could a normal High tensile bolt, be used instead with some blue thread loc?

I have attached a picture to show the bolts I mean. Number 8 arrowed.



Thanks in advance for any help.

Clean and reuse the old ones.

addy:
Thanks biggriffin, for the quick reply.  Will some blue thread loc, be needed or just fit dry?

I thought I would ask as the Haynes manual, says renew bolts because of the angle settings.

Stage 1 90Nm
Stage 2 Tighten 45 degrees
Stage 3 Tighten 15 degrees

If you follow all of that, I suspect you'll be the first person ever to do it 8)


If I was paranoid about them, I'd use a torque wrench for the 90Nm before adding a bit more :y

addy:
Thanks both. Knew I would get a decent answer from this forum. :y
