Is it necessary to replace the crown wheel bolts on 8-3/4 ?

Ah ok. But what bolts on the engine are TTY then? The service manual doesn't say to replace the head bolts but it says to replace the ring gear bolts.

BTW, what exactly does torque to yield mean? Is that at the limit of a bolt's stretch? I thought torquing bolts is meant to prevent a bolt going near it's tensile failure point?

Anyway, going to bed now, so I can't reply at this time

Thanks


Again sorry for any confusion, your thinking on TTY is in line, there are several sites that can explain it way better than I can, my point was that your bolts don't need replacing, and your car has no TTY bolts on it.
