![]() ![]() I am not sure of what to advise you to do since I have my own way of replacing seals that I have had luck with over the years. You can try tightening the nut such that you have 30 inch pounds turning force or you can take the assembly apart and put a new "crush spacer" in and start over. The inch pound figure describes the turning force in inch pounds that represents the friction of turning the pinion with an inch pound torque wrench with no other drag on the pinion ie: the ring gear assembly. Those crush spacers don't really like to be crushed twice. Since you apparently didn't take any measures to "reference stake" the pinion nut you are now kinda in the woods for preload. EDLANTA there is a "crush" spacer between the two pinion bearings that when tightened properly gives you the proper bearing preload. ![]() That does not describe how tight the pinion nut needs to be however. I agree that the preload needs to be about 30 inch pounds.
