Torque tube nuts and bolts
Can't remember how they came off or if it even matters, but should it be bolt, washer, clamshell, nut or bolt,clamshell, washer, nut? Thanks.

Re: Torque tube nuts and bolts
With the castle nut, a lock washer isn't used. It should be bolt, clamshell and castle nut. The two side pieces are a bolt, then the two pieces of clamshell, lock washer and plain nut.

Re: Torque tube nuts and bolts
If I remember correctly, one bolt and nut are reversed from the others. I think it has to do with installing the cotter pin. I will look and see if I can find where it shows that. I believe 31tudor is correct as far as the lack of lock washers when using castellated nuts and the plain bolts on the sides with lock washers.

Re: Torque tube nuts and bolts
The attached pictures shows how I installed the clam shells on my coupe. I am not 100% sure the bolt and nuts are correct, but I think so.

Re: Torque tube nuts and bolts
The picture that Rusty posted is exactly the arrangement that I found when I took mine apart a few weeks ago, right down to the top bolt coming through from the tranny side, and the rest going in the other way.
