Hello,

I get my front differential back from the machine shop today and am planning on rebuilding and installing tomorrow. My GM manual won't load and I have not had any luck finding torque specifications online. I'm looking for the specs for:

the diff. case bolts
bolts that hold the axle to the case
bolts that hold the axle to the cv joint
differential mounting bolts

If anyone has this information I'd really appreciate it, or if you can point me in the right direction.

The vehicle is a 2005 express AWD 5.3l.

Thanks!
Mark

bolts that hold the axle to the case-short side 13lbs, long side 35lbs
bolts that hold the axle to the cv joint- *use threadlock-58lbs
