Hey Mud,
I need a little help. I am trying to figure the correct torque for my pinion nut that holds the flange on the third member.
It looks like based the picture below of the service manual that it should be pre load of~ 10 lbs and a final torque of 180+
I am confused because when I checkout Zuks website (seems to be a pro with third members) and look at how he is installing the pinion nut, he always torques to 10 lbs and then sets the locking flange on the nut.
Ref zuks page at Toyota Gear Install Harrop
Ref example of torque FJ40 370 Gear Install Toyota
When do his pinion nuts get the big torque? What am i missing? Torque to 10 and set the pinion nut, or torque to 180+ and then set it?
Any help is appreciated - thanks!
