Has anyone loosened/removed the panhard rod to fit a diff protector to their DII and if so, do you re-torque it to spec or simply tighten the bolt down as tight as possible by hand??? |

Christian:
I did this on my DI, but I would imagine the technique is sufficiently similar.
First off, the nut is a nyloc and shouldn't be reused. That said, I reused mine and torqued it pretty much as tight as I could get it without collapsing the mount.
To have done it right, I should have: replaced the nyloc nut, looked up the torque specification, and tightened it using a torque wrench to that spec.
So, there you have it, the right way and the real-world way.
FWIW, YMMV, IMO, etc.

Try the "poor man's" nyloc nut. Just a few wraps of teflon tape around the bolt will make for a snug fitting nut.
