TECH Driveshaft torque?
I don't have it in front of me, but one of the maintenance items on our new SC430 is to re-torque the driveshaft (or some part of it). I will be servicing the vehicle myself, as Lexus does not provide inclusive service, and the actual torque is not listed.
Anybody know the torque/procedure?
Thanks

Hey Dave,
You're a do it yourselfer ?
I'm not sure about your question but have you considered a Shop Manual ? I'm considering getting one.
Have you changed your oil and filter yet ?

not that
No, the schedules maintenence at 5,000miles includes "Re-torque drive shaft flange bolts". That is the only service in the first 30000 miles that requires any special knowledge, therefor, I am not going to buy a manual. I'll call the dealer if I have to, but I'm not paying a couple hundred $$ for regular service.
Thanks for any help.
Dave

a friend is looking it up for me. I'll post it if anyone cares. I think it is just a gimmick to keep you coming back to the dealer for those $150 oil changes

I was exagerating, but the pre-paid package they try and sell adds up to a ton of $$$.
The driveshaft torque is 58ft lb and the half-shafts are 61 ft-lb
