Got helm or GM manual? Please help with torque specs
 

Like to do fluid change for my SS/TC soon.. hopefully someone with a helm manual or
GM manual can help me out with some torque specs...

engine oil filter (18 lb-ft?)
engine oil drain plug (18 lb-ft?)

transaxle filler plug (37 lb-ft?)
transaxle drain plug (37 lb-ft?)


Also, does the Helm manual show you where to use floor jack to jackup the rear of the
car? I got a old GM service manual (2005) that says use the rear suspension beam axle
that many said is a real bad idea.

Thanks in advance...

This isn't going to help you a whole lot, but if I recall correctly, the torque specs for the oil filter are right on the cap.

The rest I can't help you with

i jack up on the axle beam, but on the very ends where the bushing is. i wouldn't want to jack up in the middle of the car using the axle beam as a jack point, seems like it could bend it to me.

Yup.. I confirmed that with a GM tech... from the rear of the car, you should only jack up
from the side not center (of the beam).



Now, can anyone confirm those torque specs? :)
