Setting Pinion Bearing Preload ?
Does anyone have any helpful hints,suggestions,or methods for setting pinion bearing preload on a 12-bolt Chevy rearend ? I've rebuilt several of these rearends,but I've always felt uneasy or unshure of the pinion preload. I've got an inch pound torque wrench to check the setting,but my question is how to get to that point. Right now I'm having to replace the pinion bearings,crush sleeve,and pinion seal in my 1969 Camaro because I had the preload to tight and the bearings are now noisy.
