"16) With the new races installed take the now cooled differential/ring gear assembly and torque the bolts to 88Nm in a diagonal pattern. I did this by putting a set of wooden blocks in a vise with the ring gear sandwiched between them. " -- from the how to.
well what the hell is 88Nm? I tried converting it but i am not sure. anyone

well, you could have told me what it was
instead of making me estimate it
doesn't Nm stand for nanometer?

No... Nm stands for Newton-Meter, as I wrote above. Nano would be a measurement of distance, like a millimeter, or a meter. How would a tiny unit of distance help you tighten it correctly?
You also don't have to "guesstimate" anything. multiply the freakin' number by the value I posted and get an exact torque rating. If you have a problem multiplying two numbers while sitting at a computer with a built in calculator, then you have no business putting a gear ring in a differential.

That's why i was confused. Nano wouldn't help me at all. and chill dude. i did multiply it. although it was a huge challange for me. even my computer froze up when i gave it the problem.. i had to reboot before giving me an answer. that's how complicated it was) after all, i have a BS degree and calculus is something i took in high school. but still...my computer sucks. hehe
thanks for the help
a nano meter is one bilionth of a meter. so i was lost how i could use that for a damn bolt. turned out i think, that nm is not the same as Nm...ohh well

:laugh: Houston, we have a problem. :laugh: Maybe time to get more RAM memory on the computer. :laugh:... even my computer froze up when i gave it the problem.. i had to reboot before giving me an answer. that's how complicated it was

Actually, Nm isn't anything. N-m is Newton-meters, and nm is nanometers.
