im putting a sye into my np231. and i lost the directions on how to install it. does anyone know what the torque specs are for the bolts that hold the two halfs of the case together? and also the yoke nuts?

20-25 ft lbs for the case bolts and 90-130 ft lbs for the yoke nut.

I usually just hand tighten the case bolts and rattle down the yoke nut with a 1/2" impact.

FSM says front yoke has to be 90-130 ft lbs. the yoke on the SYE spec is 140-150 according to the instructions i have. maybe the SYE is a larger shaft, therefore more torque/preload?

It probably is more for the rear. The torque spec I gave was for the front yoke, so the rear one shouldnt be too far off.
