1970 K10 pinion yoke.
I went to replace my pinion cause it got messed up and the pinion nut came off super easy, and before I started there was a little back and forth just on the yoke not the shaft from the diff. A toddler could have broken this nut off. Any advice on when I go to replace and install the yoke? Should I just go to the torque spec? Anything helps.

TYpically you will need to replace the crush ring first, crush it then torque to 150

Re: 1970 K10 pinion yoke.
Put it back together with a new seal. Use a new nut. Crank it down tight with a 1/2" ratchet. No way you should be able to crush the sleeve anymore than it was. After that, should be good to go.
