This is just a short reminder to all you Citroën SM lovers out there.

It is extremely important to get in the habit of checking and correcting, if necessary, the tightness of the bolts fastening the differential shaft extension housing to the Citroen SM gear box .

This should be checked after any repair involving removal of the motor, the gear box, the drive shafts or the front suspension units.

The tightening torque is 10.5 to 13.5 m.kg. (76 to 98 ft. lbs.)

Stay safe!

We seem to call it Hydroflush over here, but Hydraurincage is the correct name for it from the mother land.

This is a good product that I personally have had some very good results with. More >
