i have a leak at the rear corner of the pan... not a nasty one but a little guy.

i was wonderin if i could swap it from under the truck. looks simple, just unbolt the lower engine pan,that LCA crossmember, and middle steering linkage.... the crossmember could come out since its only bolted to the LCA's bracket, then i'd only need to replace the cotters for the steering...

i was hoping, that the manuals list a torque spec for that crossmember, i dont remember if they do... could someone list these torque specs for me...
Oil pan:
crossmember if listed:
inner tie rod to link:
pitman to link:
idler to link:

thanks and Hau'oli Makahiki Hou!!!

Oil Pan bolts 5-9 ft. lbs.



inner tie rod to link: 33-43 ft. lbs.
pitman to link: 33-43 ft. lbs.
idler to link: 33-43 ft. lbs.

I usually tighten the cross member as tight as I can with a 1/2 drive ratchet.
Never had any issues.
