Quick question about torque specs

[Greyling]

I looked on GNTTYPE.ORG and no dice.

Breaking down this weekend and finally changing the sludge out of the rear Diff.

Anyone know how many Ft. Lbs to torque the cover bolts back on with?

Thanks in advance

That God awful smell is whale sperm.

How did you get your car close enough to a whale for him to get sperm in your rear end? Especially in Indiana!
Seriously, there is NO whale sperm in differential lube. There MAY be whale oil in the additive, but that comes from the head of the whale, not from his testicles. My guess is that current technology has come up with a synthetic lube to save the whales.
