Hey, pinion nut has backed off. I have to start 1500 mile trip in the morning. Gotta know the torque for the diffreiantial pinion nut. or the bearing preload setting etc etc etc. I need to know a safe quick fix for tightening it/ up. I'll worry about getting it exactly right after buying new crush washer etc etc. I was changing the u joints for the trip, and found the source of my vibration noise was most likley the nut being loose, as it had allowed the yoke quite a lot of freedom of movement. Without thinking I ran it tight with an impact, immeditly thought about what I had done, and backed it off.
Sorry about typo's grammer etc, I am using my inveentory computer from work to post this messgae.
Please tell me a side of the interstate get me home fix that won't cause severe bearing damage etc. I don't know where rather this model has a crush washer, bearing preload method or simply nut torque setting method for this particular part.
