Replaced rear axle pinion bearing and seal, need to know pinion nut torque spec. for aam rear axle 2005 dodge 3500 4x4 Thanks.
There is no torque specs,this nut has to be tightened back like it was ,the best thing to do,was,to late now,is to use a torque wrench to remove the nut,and remember the torque,and when replacing it,torque it back to that spec,the reason being,there is a crush sleeve between the front pion bearing ,and the rear pinion bearing,and it has to be crushed to a certain amount,to aquire deepness into the ring gear,anyway just give it about 25 lbs torque,any more the crush sleeve will crush even more and the deepness of the pinion will be too much.
i have some trouble only way is to make ur own bearing puller
use two 38 inc #8 4inc long bolts cut off bolt heads and file thenm to fit inside your bearing face and pull it it may take some time to get bolts right but this is what I did
1 inc fr face of bolt filed about 1/2 way trough bolt then on otherside of bolt filed it at about a 20 degree ange.
