Sterling 10.25 Pinion seal replacement?
I'm hoping to reduce the play in my 87 f250's sterling 10.25 yoke (companion flange) by tightening the pinion nut and replacing the seal.
I have some spec's for 160 ft lbs and 8-14 in lbs for the rotation preload (axleshafts removed). I'm trying to avoid a $950 trip to the shop. The yoke is loose side to side,but I'n not hearing any noise from the ring/pinion.
Any advise welcomed.
Thanks, Mike
