TA In Progress Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I have an 03 S10 4x4 pickup. It needs the pinion seal replaced in the front axle. My question is am I going to run into a crush sleeve or anything of that nature, or do I just remove the pinion yoke, replace the seal, and retorque the nut? Also, does anyone know what the torque should be? Thanks for any help in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 614Streets Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 No you will not run into a crush sleave issue, just like you said remove the yolk , pop it off the pinion splines , replace the seal , and rap the nut back on with a impact gun on low setting. From a perfectionist point of view and by the book you would be throwing away the old pinion nut and reusing with a new nut and then check rolling torque to match.

TA In Progress Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Cool, that's kind of what I was guessing, but wasn't for sure. Do you (or anyone else) know what the torque spec on the nut is (and the turning torque spec)?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 mitchell says to measure the turning torque before disassembly and to torque the new nut 3-5 inch pounds greater on reassembly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
