In Real Time:
Swapping FJ60 3rds into my '40. Both 3rds appear to be in good condition, but pinion preload on the rear 3rd (which I will install in my front axle), was WAY high--hard to turn by hand. I had to back the lock nut off about 1/4-1/2 turn to get the preload right. If I torque the nut down to spec, the preload is so high I can't turn it without serious effort.
What's going on?
BTW: I'm reading the Toyota 1980 Chassis FSM for the FJ40--but preload is set the same for the FJ60 3rds isn't it?
