u-bolt torque

[Sharecropper]

I have looked and looked and looked, but cannot seem to find the spec for the axle u-bolt torque. Any ideas?

IIRC, it's around 135 lb/ft.

front axle u-bolt nuts - 150ft/lbs
Chapter 6-3 of the TM 9-2320-289-34 tech manual

rear axle u-bolts - 145 or 150 ft/lbs
Chapter 6-13

Follow the tightening sequence.

Say, it appears there's a problem with accessing the TM's.

IF - you are installing new ones - make sure you re-torque them no more than after a couple hundred miles as they will stretch from new.

If old rechecking the above info was given.
