Re: Pinion Bearing Preload
One thing that is not mentioned is what was the preload before disassembly? I have seen some that had almost zero preload.
The 20 inch pounds recommended is for new bearings, that will wear in. I shoot for about 5 inch pounds with used bearings, as they are worn in to each other. This is easily checked with a beam style torque wrench, but the shaft needs to be vertical to be accurate.
Contrary to posts above, the puller does not come with the OD Unit.
