I am working on a Dana 30. I need to know the torque specs for the carrier bearing caps and the spindle studs.

Oh, yeah, I have about 3 hours to get it back together.

Bearing cap nuts are 60 ft lbs.....ring gear bolts are 55 ft lbs.

Back lash....6-10 .000

New pinion bearing preload 12-15 .000

Used........................6-8 .000

I think the spindle is around 30-35 ft lbs, but I can't find those specs...

Is this pinion bearing preload with the seal in place and applicable to a dana 35?
IE is 12-15 in lbs the propper spec for the preload on a dana 35 (crush sleave style) with new bearings and seal(carrier out)?
