Darn it So I was working on installing the torque converter I got a few weeks ago. I measured the length of bolts that I needed and went to the store and got them. I checked the online repair manual that I have access to through the library for the torque spec. The repair manual said 63 ft lbs.
So I go and start putting them in.....and break one as I'm torquing it down. Damn it!!! So I pull them all back out, come in and make sure I didn't mis-read it. Nope, 63 ft lbs. There was also a metric spec (47Nm if I remember right) so I do the conversion...and it should be 36 ft. lbs. Damn typo!!!! Now I have to go to the store again for 1 freaking bolt. Oh well, at least I was able to get the broken bolt out easily.
