Rear DS torque spec

[MTG]

I need to replace my rear stock DS with a new(er) stock DS without a torn boot (thanks Rubicat!).

Is the proper torque spec for the bolts 15 ft/lbs? http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-write-ups/jeep-jk-wrangler-torque-settings#198rbi

Is there any trick to replacing the shaft? Anything special needed (e.g. order of bolts, star pattern tightening, loctite, etc.) or can I just swap them out?

Thanks!

Plug and play

I have dropped my front and rear J.E. REEL's (I know, aftermarket) half a dozen times, to include output yokes. I just unbolt them and then reattach. Guys used to mark splines on slip yoke type shafts to get them aligned back on the exact spline, but it does not apply for you. Just bolt that RubiCat take off in there and go for a slow drive at first, feel for any vibrations and if none, then go for a little higher speed drive. It's pretty basic my brother :thumb:

Just did this to mine. Bolted right up and runs perfect!
