good evening fella jeepers I need to know the torque specs for the ring gear inside of a Chrysler 8.25 I also need the retaining clips torque spec I have looked it up already and gotten a few different result so I'm looking for guys who actually have experience with this thanks in advance.

also I'm installing a locker from lokka I'm not sure if it comes with instructions or not has anyone installed one before and do you have to take the ring gear off to install it.

Well darn. I was going to look it up too since I don't have any personal experience with either. Sorry that I don't, buddy.

I have heard 55 foot pound torque for the ring gear bolt and 60 foot pounds of torque for the retaining straps.

That coincides with info that I've found too. Somebody with All-Data needs to chime in... msmoorenburg ;)
