FIRST!! Put this in your favorites. It's the Service CD for the 123. You will need Acrobat Reader, which is free at Acrobat.com

Go to job 35-130. Thats the job for rear axel section.
The torque is dependent on the size bolt you have.

The first version a M12 is 95NM
The second version a M8 is 30NM

A 85 300D should be the second version. Check the service manual for the info.

Then get this conversion program.

Its great for converting quite a bit of things. Like Nm to Ftlb.
