IRS BOLT install, anything to it?

[stvdman]

I just ordered some 315's for the rear and a new set of IRS bolts. Are the IRS bolts just remove and replace, or is there something I should be aware of before I remove them?

thanks

The toughest part is getting the wheels off. Make sure you have a torque wrench.

OK, so get a torque wrench, and they should be tightened down to.....?

I think 86 ft lbs. I am not sure. They tell you what to torque them to on the maximum motorsports paperwork. I am not the best mechanic and it took me about 10 minutes. They should be a breeze. It is way easier than a shifter install.

Thanks man!

Torque to 76 ft lbs. and have a quality 8mm hex bit to torque them with.

Be careful and keep the hex bit perfectly perpendicular to the bolt head. They are very easy to strip.

You may also need a floor jack to raise, or lower the irs cage slightly so the bolts don't bind.

and/or a prybar to shift the IRS forward. Seems like we always had to use one to install the rear bolt.

sometimes they can be hard to line back up after they are out~

I did it today- followed MM instructions on raising the car then placing slight load on a-arm with jack- went right in no problem.
