61 CJ5 Resto Restart Info

[bmorgil]

If you can find a copy of your original 1961 Jeep Service manual, you might find them there. There are some torque specs in the back pages (Section U p275) of the -R6 reprinted Universal Manual. You have to be careful with the Universal Service Manual however. Sometimes the spec varies by year and the manual seems to have most of the specs from the 1965 models, the year for the CJ's when the manual (Form SM-1002-R6) was last reprinted by Jeep.

When you cant find the spec, you will have to use the SAE Bolt torque guide. I have bumped into that a few times.
