Re: Solid spacer pinion sleeve gurus come in

Yep, I get it. Ive read on other sites that the preload will change when torquing down the nut as metal is malleable. Hence the reason at 140ft torque and 160ft torque changes my preload.

But I agree its solid and shouldnt change that much. It just seems when I have alot of shims added and when I hit it with an impact and the nut doesnt move anymore, there is a lot of rotation and no drag, which makes me think that its too loose. Then I tear it all down and repeat.

But, I will keep plugging away at it.

Also, Ive read to stake the nut as well as red locktite. But, there isnt really a space to knurl the metal over into a pocket like other rearends nuts
