What is the torque spec for the Eaton's snout-to-case bolts?

 

Bring them to snug and give it 1/8th of a turn more.

Just make sure to use a light film of sensor safe silicone between the plates. Also make sure there is no nick or burrs that would keep the plates frome matting together straight.

Magnuson says 120 inch pounds. Since that's only 10 foot pounds, that does not sound like enough to me. I like Suavy's way better at snug plus 1/8th turn. Magnuson also suggests Loctite 510 as the sealer between the plates.

 

I think I read somewhere that they were 20-24ft lbs.

 

Kerno is right-on. I have the instruction sheet from Magnuson & Kerno is posting the recommended torque & sealant information.
What others have posted works as well.

 

I have rebuilt the Eaton and the MP blowers and have used the method and the sealant that I mentioned.

Have done about 12 or more times now.
We also remove the nose plate to swap the pulleys on a large bearing press.

Why use a sealant between plates when the stock eaton doesn't use it?

 

The stock Eaton does use sealant.

 

That's funny. I have taken apart two of them and I didn't see any use of a sealant.

 

Thats because it is pushed so thin it is transparent. If you use acetone to clean the mateing surfaces...thats when you can see it, it also collects around the bolt holes. I use a loctite gasket maker that looks like jelled red loctite I think the number is #518 ? and spread it thin with a Q-tip.

 

Yes, what he said!
