Default Guys, pls help... repair manual help

For those that have the repair manual for a 98-2000 LS400, could someone please look up the torque specification for the rear pinion seal? I am replacing it due to slow leak, and it’s critical to get it torqued correctly.

i’d very much appreciate your help.

thanks guys,

Rob from New Hampshire

Hi, and thank you so much... very much appreciated.

could you possibly show me the torque specs on page SA-83, as noted in diagram?

i do believe that’s the spec i am looking for, and of course, they did not call out that torque spec in the diagramm
as they did on other parts.

i am replacing the oil seal, and that nut at the end of assembly is the torque spec i need.

i so much appreciate your help.

thanks,

rob
