Pinion Torque Spec?
I am going to replace the rear pinion seal in my pick up but before I do, I am just wondering what the torque spec should be. I am going to try to get away with not screwing with the crush sleeve. Hopefully! Some numbers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have to ask this question, and anyone, please answer it.. What in the heck does this Crush sleeve do?? There are a set of tapered bearings facing each other with mounted seats.( just like the Rotors we have all done ) . The crush sleeve seems to be more of a concern then it is worth. I rebuild spindles here that do 30,000 RPM's.. There is no crush sleeve there..I would think a Good Shim job, Load up them bearings, loosen, snug..
That was how I did the last two rear ends.. but again, I am all ears on the use of the crush sleeve.
I Only have 10,000+ on the one rear end, and about 35,000 on the other.. both are out of warranty though.. it was free labor..

Hook it, I'll pull it.

. If it wasn't for the 4 to 1 reduction ratchet Roland had, I don't know how we would have got the nut off and back on. Like Jim said, 470 ft/lbs torque is a lot lot.
