hey guys i have a 79 f-150 I am installign a new yoke in the frotn rearend what is the torque you should tighten it up to? Also what is the torque on the yoke on the transfercase for the front driveshaft?
thanks,
Jimmy

 

i gues no one knows?!? Its for the front rearend in my 79 f-150 4x4

 

Also how tight do you make the nut on the transfercase? i gues it is a 1 5/16 i found out after buying a bunch of sockets (they get expensive) i bought 6 sockets so i figured i would get the right size.

 

What's a front rearend?

 

I have never used a torque specification for yokes on a 205 t-case or a dana axle, because the bearings are shimmed instead of using a crush sleeve, i just tighten them down with the 1/2" impact regulated at about 110 psi I think, not over tightening them, but tight

 

ok thank you very much now i can get thefront driveshaft on the truck thanks you for the help!

you are welcome, and another thing, while you are into it, the u-bolts on the u-joints, they should not be overtightened, just snug them so the lock washer (yes, make sure you use the lock washers) flattens out, too tight and it will cause u-joint problems good luck with it all
