OME spring hanger pin torque?

[Skniper]

Yes I searched, aarrggh....maybe I skimmed right past the info.

Need the OME torque spec for their greasable spring hanger pin....the fixed end pin.
Toyota FSM spec is something like 95 ft/lb, I don't remember the fixed pin nut on the Emu's being anywhere near that high. I took it to 60 ft/lb like the large shackle nuts.

Any precise info on this?

FSM calls for 67 ft/lbs for Shackle and fixed pin nut.

Just checked my fj62 FSM, factory fixed pin nut is 90 ft/lb. I'm not going that high. Hell I get nervous going to 95-100 on u-bolts.
Will prob retorque to 65 ft/lb.

Pictures, for when words aren't enough.

Not to perpetuate the post mortem equinous flogging, but these pics are direct from my '90 FJ62 FSM...torque values are the same for front and rear.
Looks like Mr. T made a change in later fj6X production.

And being that the OME pins are threaded and nutted on both ends and cannulated for greasing is why I questioned such a high torque value that is represented in 62's FSM, and did not want to equate Toyota specs to ARB's specs.
In all I like my nuts twisted to 65# and I like having new bushings and fresh grease at all four corners.

Ok, I retract my previous statement. I've never seen a newer version of the FSM... curious when the change occurred, perhaps between 87->88.

Either way, mine are torqued to 67ft lbs. the torque limits for a zinc coated M18 (unsure of pitch) is much higher than 90, so either way you set it will be fine.

You can also periodically check, which you should be doing anyway, especially after a new install.

crap 90 ft-lbs. I thought it was tight enough at 67.

Here are the OME torques from direct from their instruction sheet for the anti inversion shackles.

I would be reluctant to uga-duga the hollow greasable pins to much.

 

[Hugh Heifer]

Here it is for the fixed pin. 60 ft lbs is correct.

@Hugh Heifer , damn fella, you couldn't have necro'd this at a more opportune time. My new shackles n associated hardware should be landing shortly

We aim to please! I can't remember what brand pins I have on my 40 and was looking for guidance.
