I finally finished reconditioning the front axle tubes and ordering parts, is there any guide online that I can use to reassemble it properly? Im worried about torque specs and some of the bolts dont look like they fit correctly

Only the brown Bentley manual, as it covers the front axle completely, including torque specs. You can also download the parts book from the technical section of this site to tell you the bolt lengths and locations.

The only annoying thing is I have it, and it tells me what to do, the axle just won't go on properly
