I read through a bunch of Zuk's installs on his website before tackling my regear. Felt pretty comfortable after that because he is so thorough in them.

There is a spec for it, 12-15 in/lbs rotational torque with new bearings. You'll need a beam type in/lb torque wrench. Essentially, you need to tighten the pinion nut, thus compressing the crush sleeve, a little bit at a time until the spec is reached. BTW this has to be done with the ring gear/carrier removed from the diff housing and too much is better than too little so if you go a bit past spec, don't loosen it up to get in spec.
