    Torque Specs for Rear Main Seal Retainer?

    Unless I missed something Bentley is silent on rear main seal R&R. Based on feedback here, I bought the retainer with seal pre-installed kit. I can do a feels-about-right bolt tightening but would rather not to if specs are available. Thanks.

    Two Z3 Roadsters
    6mm bolts are 10 Nm torque setting
    1999 2.8L Z3 Roadster,
    2000 3.0L Z3 Roadster,

    There is only one thing more pleasurable than working on a Z3, that's driving it top down on a fine day.
