  • Bad stuff


    The story. Pinion seal was leaking. Changed it and called the local Landcruiser guy for a torque spec on the pinion nut. Apparently 181ft/lb is too much. The pinion bearings are gone. The pinion got into the carrier and destroyed it to the point that it needs to be cut out. :banghead:

          They are but I hope I don't have to destroy them to get the third member out.

            Your first indication shoulda been 181 ft/lb... I would think 80-100 woulda done it

              Yes but no. I found out it goes off of rotational torque with the pinion nut not being torqued more than 253 ft/lb.

                  Wonder if you could put a 1/4 stick in there to help it fly out of there?

                    It is a crush sleeve. This was the first Toyota axle I have worked on. I had no idea called the local Landcruiser guy he said 181 ft/lb. I had no reason not to believe him. He has done good on everything else I have asked him.

                          Who knows. Maybe its coincidence. I was surprised at the massiveness of my shafts though. Thanks for the offer Andy. It should be back together Saturday.
