tranny output flange

[Bill W]

Does anyone know what the torque setting is for the big nut on tranny driveshaft flange ( or what TM to find it ) or is it one of those tighen till your left knut pops settings

 

[Westech]

no you dont have to crank it at all. There is no bearing preload. I just snug it up with a 1/2" bar and put the cotter pin in.
