Front diff - backlash setting
I'm in the process of changing oil seals on my dually front end. Do I need to worry about backlash settings? I see the gears are attached with solid brackets, which I assume, as just torque to spec and not worry about backlash.
Please let me know what you think and also, what is the torque spec for the four bolts holding the gears/yoke in place?

unless you changed the bearings on the carrier and/or pinion your backlash and pinion depth will not change. The shims that adjust it are captured behind the bearings so if you don't mess with them all should be good.
