Pinion Seals, How tight?
I need to change my pinion seals on my 79 F250 4x4. Dana 60 rear and 44 up front. Question is, how tight do I re-install the big nut? Do I need to worry about pre-load like some other axles?
Thanks,
Andy

Pinion Seals, How tight?
I recently did my rear Dana 60 and remember the torque spec somewhere around 225-250 ft/lbs. After trying a couple different ways, I determined that there was no way in hell I could get that kind of spec lying on my back with no leverage so I hit the nut a couple times with the air impact.
