egghead Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 So I'm in process of swapping out my dana 35 for an 8.25 with 4.10s. The PO took the pinion flange off for another one of his jeeps. He ended up getting me another, now I'm pondering on replacing the seal only problem I'm running into is the crush sleeve design.. since he took the old one off and didn't mark location of the nut to return it to the proper position. Is there a way to do this by an estimate torque spec?
Eagle Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 You're supposed to use a new nut every time you have the yoke off anyway. Are you reusing the old crush sleeve or installing a new one with the new seal?
egghead Posted July 13, 2015 Author Posted July 13, 2015 Eagle, thanks for the reply. I was unaware of using a new nut everytime. I was not planning on getting a new crush sleeve. Is this going to be a problem?
Eagle Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 A tech friend who used to work in a Jeep dealership once told me that when they replaced a seal and reused the crush sleeve they torqued the pinion nut to 250 foot pounds and called it good.
Eagle Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Right on! New nut or old nut, Eagle? He didn't say, and he and his family are off on a camping vacation so I can't ask him. Cruiser? Paging Cruiser ...
