Re: Pinion nut

Its around 200 ft lb.
But the inch lb to rotate the the pinion is what's important.

Re: Pinion nut

If your not setting up the ring and pinion, and just re tightening the pinion nut, then the correct torque is 180-200 ft lb. I always put thread locker on the threads.

What happened, did it come loose on ya. Its happened to me.
