Pinion Torque
#2
There really is no torque spec. for that nut. You need to measure pinion bearing preload by noting how much force is needed to rotate the pinion gear. You would need to tighten the nut and measure the preload. I personally do it by feel. Rotate the pinion by hand before you remove the nut and flange and try to get back to the same feeling after assembly. Or you can do it w/ a lb.- in. torque wrench as per the manual. A 8.8" is 13- 26 lb.- in. And 8.8 & 10.25" diffs are 16-29 lb.-in.
Good luck!
