8 3/4 QUESTION #3

CFD244 · Jul 25, 2021

Hi Folks

Just buttoning up my 8 3/4 with 3.23/741 Sure Grip. Can anyone advise if the pinion nut and washer are re-usable, and what the final torque spec is on it. I have read 170 ft/lbs and 240 ft/lbs. Which one is right?

Thanks

The pinion nut and washer are reusesble, and I believe the 240 ft/lb is correct, but finding the torque wrench to get to that setting is not easy. Just torque that puppy down with all your might and you should be fine.

Re-usable if no apparent damage.

240 is the number. But my old tired *** sets them at 200. Never had a problem.

At 241ft lbs the center chuck explodes at 17.2 mph. Lol! :rofl:

Both reusable if in good shape. 240 lb/ft good luck gett'n there, its tough holding the pinion. Big pipe wrench with a cheater.
