hi all, just removed vertical drive on 87 omc cobra 3.0L to grease u-joints, got it back together (wow what a fun job) but should the six mounting nuts be torqued to a specific value? I have a repair manual on order but it hasent arrived yet any help would be appreciated.<br /> TRAVIS

Re: torque specs.

You need to tighten the six to 25ft lbs initally. Tighten in a crisscross pattern.<br /> When all are tight to 25ft lbs, retighten in the same sequence to 50ft lbs. <br /> This is according to the factory service manual for the 1987 Cobra Drives.<br /> I would think that they should be all the same.<br /> If not, I'm sure someone else will pipe up.
