so I'm changing my rear Diff, I was just wondering if anyone can tell me the torque settings for prop to Diff and driveshafts to diff?
and are the bolts reusable?
thanks very much.

Prop to diff 55Nm
Driveshafts to diff 70Nm
All bolts are 'always renew' - the prop bolts are almost at their maximum setting and are easy to strip out the splines, so yes, replace them. Personally I reckon the drive shaft bolts could be reused - once, but it's not really worth it.
