Rear Differential Pinion Nut (2) (3) Ft.Lbs 140 Nm(190)

(2)DO NOT reuse old nut or bolt.
(3)Continue to tighten pinion nut until pinion preload torque-to-turn is 15.0-24.8 INCH Lbs. (1.7-2.8 N.m). If pinion preload is higher, replace collapsible spacer. DO NOT tighten pinion nut to more than 275 Ft. Lbs. (373 N.m), or collapsible spacer will be compressed too far
