DSS axles inner CV boot replacement? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Black_SS10 · 08-30-2019, 06:05 PM

Hi all. Tomorrow I'm going to be replacing the inner CV boots on my Driveshaft shop axles, as they are torn. I totally forgot to ask them about the torque specs for the bolts. They are now closed. Does anyone know the specs for them? Thanks!

Blue loctite and 57-60 ft lbs...blue loctite is very important as they had issues early on with the bolts backing off so they sent out a tech update...

I’ll see if I can find it...

Edit:

I just read a thread on that. DSS said 57-60ftlbs with blu loctite. 35 doesn't seem like much.

Yeah, initially it was 35 ft lbs, but I found my notes and it was updated to 57-60 - updated my post ;o)
