Does anyone know the size and pitch of the ring gear bolts on a V6 diff? I think it's M12x1.00, but I'd like some confirmation before I pay for a new tool. I think my Torque wrench must've gone 'round the bend. I made it through the first and 2nd torques, the wrench clicked and everything...no clicky at 70 and I stripped the threads of a bolt. Now I need the size so I can see if I can find a re-threader or at least a tap. Why are those bolts so soft?
Thanks,
Mark

I have enough bolts...I just need to clean the threads up in the ring gear.

I thought that's what they looked like. I'm using the bolts that came with the install kit...minus 1!

No thanks...I'll hit the dealer tomorrow. I'm just a little miffed at my torque wrench. I think I'll go back to Sears and see what the policy is on wrenches.
Thanks again,
Mark

Idid the same thing to a set of genuine gears.

How sure are you about the torque specs?

Actually...I'm a birthday pie kinda guy! Ever since I was a kid it's been banana cream pie for my b-day. Unfortunately, since I had the surgery on my knees I've become...how shall I say it? Abundant. Yes, that works! I got a rain check on the pie from my mom. 'Cause I can fall through a fresh 'naner cream pie like Sherman through Atlanta and I just couldn't see it...until I lose some mass.

BTW, my momma makes some killer pies!

The gears are factory 4.88s.

I just think that I went too close to the max on the torque wrench (only 75lbs.). I've heard before that you shouldn't use the extreme upper on a torque wrench, maybe I was too close or maybe it's just toast. I had loaned a bigger wrench to one of my buddies. Everywhere I read...FSM, Yukon install guide, etc. said either 70 or 71 lb/ft. I was going to use 70. I'll just clean the threads out, they're not boogered up, just the one has some bolt left in it.
Mark

a quick aside...the spell check doesn't  like the phrase "boogered up"! Must be a Yankee!

Thanks! I think I've got the bolts covered.
At my advanced age...try not to use the word "Late". Kinda sounds bad!

Hey as long as you keep having birthdays late or not it hopfully is a good thing. It is when they come around with out you that you don't have any worries.

One day at a time and if I don't get up, then somebody else has to deal with it, not me.  :disturbed:
