[QUOTE="03SVTCOBRA10TH, post: 8064708, member: 11983"] Ok, just so I understand, the diff is in the car and has the half shafts in it, and you need to replace the old pinion nut with the new one?? If that is the case, it is simple, because preload is set when you compressed the crush sleeve, you can just use a torque wrench to see when the nut starts to give a little, start at 180 ft/lbs and go in 10 ft/lbs increments till it just wants to start to spin and the torque wrench will not click. Then use that as you final torque value with the new one. Or just use an impact gun to remove and then to tighten the new nut, just don't crank on it for a long time, let it tighten and hold the impact gun to it for like 3 secs. So unless you crank on it and compress the crush sleeve more, you will not change the preload. [/QUOTE]
