I'm sure this has been brought up time and time again but can't find thread pertaining to it.

So I'm rebuilding my 52 M38 and finally at a stage to finish up some of the things I've been working on but came to a standstill last night as I couldn't find torque specs.
I am currently putting my front and rear axles back together after replacing all bearings and seals. I looked through all my manuals and couldn't find torque specs. I did find one spec of the differential bearing cap of 38-42 lb/f while reading the manual but im looking for a full list of torque specs that i can reference while my build continues, not just the odd torque spec referenced throughout the manual
Thanks for any lists you may have found

Hi Brad,
The torque specs are in one of the manuals, though I don't
remember which. Operations and Maintenance, or Engine and
Power train.

I have them downloaded on my desktop and will check later if
you don't find them.

Take care,

Thanks Brian. I am in the garage right now fiddling with some of the brake parts now. Once I mount the new brake shoes I will go in and take another look.

Brad,
I used to have a link to CJ3A Flat Fender torque specs but when I went to it just now it was dead.

Here is a list for the CJ2A. Maybe Wes can take a look and see if it is relevant.
