I just swaped the flanges on my pinion. Can someone give me the torques spec for the pinion nut?

yep (you should always use a new crush sleeve when loosening the nut. )

You will be fine just retorqueing back to where it was. I had one for a year and a half like that, and it did finally sieze the bearing but I think that was because the weld broke.:flipoff2:
It lasted a while though. probably 75,000 miles

A buddy of mine just set up the third and after he got everything together he back the nut off so that I could swap or redrill the flange. I just went out there, put a decent size breaker bar on it, gave it all I had and staked the nut. Everything should be cool according to him I just wanted to see if there was a spec on it.


Thanks!

If you get the chance this weekend, lift the rearend, pull the axles out of the carrier, and see if you can easily spin the pinion by hand. I've found that the proper bearing preload is pretty close to "slight tension on the pinion when spun by hand", too much torque on the nut quickly becomes "can't move that sucker without a hernia".

I work the shop counter, so I see everything that comes in the door. :flipoff2:

Yeah, and what the hell would GearMan know.... it's not like he owns the most reputable Diff shop around or happens to be one of those damn POR guys that flogs the hell out of Toyotas.... :flipoff2:

Damn Service Writers think they know everything

WRONG can't stand them. I work in parts, and every part that goes into the shop goes through my hands.

Damn people can't anybody take alittle joking around. I was just joking with Gearman. He does good work(from what I hear). He was jokin with me. You guys just have to jump in and get all defensive. LOOOOOSSSSSENNNNN UP
