9. Using Spanner Wrench 6958 and torque wrench set at 352 Nm (260 ft. lbs.) (Fig. 64). Slowly tighten the nut in 6.8 Nm (5 ft. lbs.) increments
until the rotating torque is achieved. Measure the rotating torque frequently to avoid over crushing the collapsible spacer (Fig. 65).
CAUTION: If more than 352 Nm (260 ft. lbs.) torque is required to crush the collapsible spacer, the spacer is defective and must be replaced.
10. Check bearing rotating torque with an inch pound torque wrench (Fig. 65). The torque necessary to rotate the pinion should be:
^
Original Bearings: 1 to 2 Nm (10 to 20 inch lbs.).
^
New Bearings: 1.7 to 3.4 Nm (15 to 30 inch lbs.).
11. Invert the differential case and start two ring gear bolts. This will provide case-to-ring gear bolt hole alignment.
