Jag rear differential question

[RICK LAKE]

767Jockey Call me BEFORE you pull that Yoke. You need to mark it. Nut and pinion. You should also get a drag load rate before also Rick L. If you over tork the pinion bearings you will get to much backlash and per wear out the bearings. I will be home after 7:00pm

767 Jockey, I am not sure if you have installed the yoke yet but what I normally do is torque the nut to 100 ft lbs (NO IMPACTING) also putting some sealer on the washer, the crush sleeve requires more the this to crush. I only mark the nut if I am using the same yoke. Also take an in/lb reading before removing the yoke and see how it compares to when you are finnished. Be sure to replace the oil and I would always take the car for a test drive and feel the pinion area for heat when I checked for leaks.
