Default AX15 Transmission Mount

Howdy folks,

The FSM is confusing me on proper bolt torques for reassembling my transmission mount and crossmember (AX15). There are four sets of bolts, I think:

- Crossmember to frame = 31 ft lb
- Crossmember to mount (4 bolts) = (?)
- Mount to transmission bracket (2 bolts) = 55 ft lb (?)
- Bracket to transmission case (4 bolts) = 40 ft lb (?)

Thanks!

Just crank them down with about a 12 inch ratchet. Forearm tight.

X2 on forearm tight. Don't want to break those frame nuts loose. Did that before and had to cut a hole in the unibody rail

Well forearm tight stripped one of the frame nuts...

So I think I am going to try chasing the threads with a repair tap and getting a new M10.8 bolt.

If that doesn't work...helicoil time.

I pray that tapping or drilling and tapping doesn't bust the nut loose.

Actually it looks like a better idea is to carefully re-tap using 7/16-14 thread. I'll report how that goes.
