[alfa] Donut nuts tightening torque

["John Fielding" <johnf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Greg,

From the Alfetta Inspection Manual, the AR official specification book for the Alfetta and
GTV series.

"Nuts securing prop. shaft flexible couplings to flywheel, shafts and clutch fork:"

Torque spanner applied directly to the nut  =  4 to 5 kgm (39 to 49 Nm)
Extension plus torque spanner    = 3.4 to 4.2 kgm (33 to 41 Nm)

The "extension" is a AR tools A. 5.0190/91/92 presumably a normal 1/2" drive socket
extension?

Centre bearing and yoke nuts:
9.5 to 10.5 kgm (93 to 103Nm)

The numbers you gave seem to be in the ball-park and should work OK.
