Diff oil change plug torque
Hi everyone,
Any idea of the tightness of the drain and filler plug on the diff (nothing in the manual)?
I am sure it is a tapered fit but not sure how tight it should be.
Any contributions gratefully received.

Aren't drain and fill plugs generally the kind of thing you just tighten "enough". I know that's the way it used to be anyway in the good old days Smile

I can't find any spec anywhere, even for a series LR. Just don't wind the plug all the way into the diff, that's a real PITA!

Cheers,

Thanks, all, for your help.
Will approach the tightening up with caution!

In the Defender manual pre Puma it gives 55-64 Nm or 40-47 lbf ft. It would appear that bob neville is bang on. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
