Flywheel Bolt Torque. Not the usual question...Sort of Everywhere I see 75 ft/lbs in 3 steps. I looked in the GM service I have access to at work and it says this.
Tighten
Tighten the flywheel bolts to 15 N·m (11 lb ft). Using the J 36660-A to torque the flywheel bolts an additional 50 degrees.
Reason I wonder is I am putting my flywheel on and with a 1/2 drive torque wrench and 75 ft/lbs seems way tighter than this GM spec. I never got my wrench to click but I tell ya those things are tight. I was afraid I was going to snap the head off the bolt.
