Don't forget to check the washer behind the axle nut, it should have a slight conical shape to it.

finished abs delete today. left alot of room there so I figured could be a good Place to route some cold air for the intake.

had to take the rear turbo out which was kind of a bitch but good to have done for future upgrades. took a pic comparing euro 11b vs us 9b. 9b has more smaller blades. 11b has fewer larger blades.

It's flat as flat could be.

Let me see if we have any new ones to snap a picture of. But most definitely should have a slight cone shape to it, which I believe is to help keep tension on the nut or similar, not 100% positive though.

Correct, similar to the heat bolt washers.

Not a great shot of the conical shape, but I'll try to get into the inventory and snap a picture this afternoon.

Dropped it off at the body shop this weekend. I should soon have a better idea as to the extent of the damage from being rear ended just before the NG.

**R/T93** · 08-10-2015, 04:01 PM

I ordered some new ones. I'm making shims to allow the cotter pin hole to line up at the correct torque, too.

**anyonebutme** · 08-10-2015, 07:44 PM

heh, I don't even torque them, impact them until I feel they are tight enough, done. I probably torque to 500 ft-lbs, lol.

**stealthee** · 08-10-2015, 08:45 PM

I don't torque mine either. I tighten with a breaker bar and tighten til it feels right.

As for what I got done. I got a few more things cleaned up and on the engine. Gapped the plugs and installed them.

Starting to look more like an engine now

More detailed update is in my thread.
