Hey guys, I'm in the process of determining shim stack on the pinion gear in the dif. I believe I have read that the torque of the pinion nut is 240 ft lbs. In order to reach that torque, is the only way to install the dif back on the vehicle? Is there any way it can be done off the vehicle? Thanks everyone.

Another question, I have installed both sides of the button with the pin into the central hole between the 2 gear sets. When holding one side of the button flush against the casing, the other side comes out that far. Is that the way it should be? Just want to confirm because I've never done this before. Thanks guys
Yupper. Should measure approximately 1.5 inches when together. Kim
That is how you adjust both axles from one side... adjustment from the side with the adjuster pushes against the button, which pushes against the end of the opposite axle.
