Rear Axle Fastener Torque
I'm helping a guy whose rear axle has a leak somewhere around the torque tube / banjo junction. The previous owner rebuilt the rear end using non-Ford bolts with lock washers all around the banjo, left and right bells, and the torque tube. I'm only familiar with the original Ford assembly which has no lock washers and bolts torqued to 35 lbs and secured with wire.
What torque should be needed in this situation where there are lock washers squishing around under the bolts?
