[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 89287, member: 2"] Rear end let go again. Lots of gear noise and growling upon deceleration coming off the highway. Time to pull an entire rear from a wreckers and swap rear ends. I think the preload definitely has something to do with eating the bearings, however, and let this be some advise for anyone replacing a pinion seal, mark the location of the pinion nut before you remove it. Then when installing it, tighten it until it goes to the exact same point and torque it on at 10 lbft. Or another way to do it properly is to measure the torque to spin the pinion prior to removing the nut (should be about 25 inlb). Then when reinstalling, torque until you obtain this value again to ensure correct preload on the pinion bearings. I think when I torqued it on, as I lost my reference, I torqued the crap out of it, crushed the crush sleeve further and pulled the ring and pinion out of alignment. Long story short, I now need a new rear end. Learn from me, don't be like me. :D [/QUOTE]
