[Car: '87 5000CD Turbo Quattro

I am torquing the flywheel to the crankshaft. Page 30.8 of Bentley's
says the torque on the flywheel to crankshaft is 25 nm (18 ft lb.) vs 75
nm (55 ft lb.) for the hex head bolts that bolt the pressure plate to
the fly wheel.

This doesn't sound correct to me. The hex head bolts are smaller in
diameter than the bolts that bolt the flywheel. I'm not even sure that
they would take 55 ft lbs.

Can anyone confirm or correct these torques?]

I can't confirm, but if I recall the Bently has it bass ackward for
these..can anyone else confirm?
