Re-torque propeller shaft bolt?

I got those for suspension work on the first gen: 14mm for the 3 coilover top hat nuts, and the 19mm for the front hanger pin on the leaf spring because the fuel tank was so tight.

I believe the 14mm is also correct for the propeller bolts, too, at least on the 1st gen, IIRC. But I cannot verify on the second gen. Mine's due, too.

 

I'm looking to pick up some of those as well, for a 2nd gen. Are they the correct size?

 

Keep in mind that when using an extension you will need to reduce the torque setting on the wrench or you will be over-torquing the bolt.

Yes

 

Does the dealer typically do this when listed in maintenance manual when I bring it in for my regular service? Or do they only do an inspection and oil change?

 

If you are talking about the "free" 24 months of service included when you bought it new. The only things they do are listed in your paperwork and here: https://www.actontoyota.com/toyotacare.htm

These are called torque extensions.

 

I have this set. I don't use them a lot but they've held up fine.

I usually check mine when doing diff fluid every 30k. Using a short crow's foot (1 inch) and a standard 18-inch torque wrench, torque calcs out to about 60 lb/ft. 2 inch extension, about 58.

 

Do these change the torque equation like a crows foot does? All of these bolts get torqued to 64 lbs? How many bolts are there?

 

Yes. I you read through the thread, yo will see several posters have already covered this.

You can look up the equations online. Here's a couple:

Cool thanks. I was actualy able to get a long extension on the bolts and torque them normal. Im wondering though, should i have loosened them first then re torqued them? Does the slip yoke bolt need to be retorqued?

 

Subd for future reference

 

what catches my attention is that bolt is singular not plural. is it the bolt on the slip yoke they are talking about?

 

Can anyone point me in the direction of a torque extension calculator that I can use to get the correct torque for these bolts when using an extension? The links on this thread aren't working or in one case, you have to register or have an account or something to use the calculator.

 

If the torque wrench is at 90 degrees to the wrench/crows foot, etc, there is no need to adjust the torque setting. You need to adjust torque settings if you extend the torque wrench handle farther away from centre of the nut.

See here for the formula if you are not at 90 degrees. There is no need not to be at 90 degrees, so this should just be theoretical.

Here is the tool I use to hold a combination wrench when I can't get directly on with a socket. Works well and I can just use my existing wrenches.

Oooohh. OK, so I can put the extension on the torque wrench at a 90 degree angle and the torque setting would remain the same? Good to know. Thanks for the quick reply.

 

Yes, that is correct. When you are at 90 degrees, no need for the calculator.

 

I believe this is not correct info... if you use a crows foot you need to recalculate but if you use a drive adapter or extention there is no need. There are people that argue using a 12inch extender will mess with your torque value due to the extendor having slop or twisting but we are working on our trucks not a nuclear power plant
