But that's the wrong torque. The correct torque is 94-108 ft-lbs. DON'T run it until you retorque. If it comes loose on you it will mess up other things and you'll be in a worse fix. It's common to get bad advice from Clymer manuals, but I've never noticed this little gem. That number sounds like it might be for a completely different bolt, probably a much small one. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
