Cash somebody help me make sense of this:

Front seat bolts | 50 Nm | 37 ft. lbs. | - |
Front seat back bolts | 73 Nm | 54 ft. lbs. | - |

? Seems like a strange way to phrase things. I assume it means:

Front seat FRONT bolts | 50 Nm | 37 ft. lbs. | - |
Front seat back bolts | 73 Nm | 54 ft. lbs. | - |

?

Awesome info here! Thank you!

Is there any torque specs for the sky one touch mounting bolts and the EcoDiesel engine?

I read on the XL spreadsheet of torque values that stabilizer bar bolts must be replaced if removed. I am installing a Rubicon sway bar (modified with a manual activator knob) on a Sport. Can someone explain why I can't reuse the bolts? Here to learn and fill in some gaps in my knowledge. Thanks.

While not an expert it is my understanding that when you torque a bolt it "stretches" it at some level. Reusing the bolt puts added stress on the used bolt, probably something nobody wants responsibility for.

Thanks, but wouldn't that mean every torqued bolt has to be replaced if removed? I'm not doubting your answer, I'm just trying to learn. I suspect the answer has to do with torque to yield and application. Thanks.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but there's nothing here that states which engine these specs pertain to. I assume this is for the 3.6L, correct? If so, are there specs listed anywhere for the 2.0?

Thanks, but wouldn't that mean every torqued bolt has to be replaced if removed? I'm not doubting your answer, I'm just trying to learn. I suspect the answer has to do with torque to yield and application. Thanks.
I'm also wondering this. I see the following:

AXLE - FRONT - M186

Part |Nm |ft. lbs .| in. lbs. | Comments
Half Shaft Nut | 136 Nm | 100 ft. lbs. | - |
Bearing Cap Bolts| 108 Nm | 80 ft. lbs. | - |
Differential Cover Bolts | First Pass - 16 Nm, Second Pass - 41 Nm | First Pass - 12 ft. lbs, Second Pass - 30 ft. lbs. | - | Do not reuse these fasteners. If removed, a NEW fastener must be installed and tightened to specifications.
Drain Plug | 34 Nm | 25 ft. lbs. | - |
Fill Plug | 34 Nm | 25 ft. lbs. | - |
Hub Bearing Bolts | 100 Nm | 74 ft. lbs | - |
Pinion Nut | 217 Nm | 160 ft. lbs. | - | Do not reuse these fasteners. If removed, a NEW fastener must be installed and tightened to specifications.
Ring Gear Bolts | 108 Nm | 80 ft. lbs. | - | Do not reuse these fasteners. If removed, a NEW fastener must be installed and tightened to specifications.
Front Axle Disconnect Skid Plate Bolts | 42 Nm | 31 ft. lbs | - |
Front Axle Disconnect Bolts | 18 Nm | 13 ft. lbs. | - | Do not reuse these fasteners. If removed, a NEW fastener must be installed and tightened to specifications.
Most other bolts don't say that, but a couple do. I'm asking because I wanted to try adding a front diff skid that I had bought, but there's been questions as to whether it'll fit or not (based on the front diff redesign).

That process requires removing four bolts but not breaking the seal. The skid kit provides replacement hardware, but if it doesn't fit, I would like to try to return it (since it's labeled as compatible and they assured me it would fit), which means I'm left with only my OEM hardware bolts.

Will something go wrong with if I try to reinstall them? Does it have something to do diff fluid getting on them? Honestly not sure how it works.
