Hey Clyde -
    That's certainly good news!  BTW, aren't the bolts/nuts/washers supposed 
to be replaced each time they are removed?

    When I removed my 911 engine I released the rear axles and had the same 
problem with torquing -  except I wasn't sure I had torqued all of the bolts 
(4/side) until I went back and rechecked all of them - twice.

Good luck -
LarryT
