To those doing this job, never take off the big center nut without marking it before, and count how many turns it takes to remove it. Thats the only wait you can put it back in the same, you dont need to use that gauge.
If just replacing a pinion seal, after removing the driveshaft, mark the nut, the pinion shaft, the joke ... and count the exposed threads. I even set a plunge measure to the exposed shaft length. I reuse the same nut on the same shaft and on the same yoke and put it all back together in the exact samer positions. Any washers get reused too. Same parts, same positions relative each other, then there is no change in crush. Just clean the threads on the pinion shaft and yoke nut and use lock tite on the nut. On police cars, I have usually added a stake point or two.
Great video. I made the mistake of taking the nut off without counting the threads. How can I safely put it back on and be sure that it is in the right original spot? I have an electrical impact wrench that maxes up to 300lbs, but didnt want to risk it. Thanks in advance for the help.
5:41 is that washer and bearing one that the yoke preloads? My 06 ranger has something similar and I’m pretty sure I just have to torque it down fully and use red thread locker sound correct? Just changing my seal.
you probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother recently =)
You should NEVER use an impact gun to undo the pinion nut or any nut or bolt that has a gear installed driving another gear. You can easily break the teeth of the pinion or ring gear. Even if it has not appeared to have broken anything, it could easily fail later on as it can dent or stress the gear teeth. I repair transmissions every day for decades and I have seen this many times over the years. It also goes without saying that you dont do them up either.

Or you could count the threads that are exposed and go a little further if the bearing is worn
I’m lucky my yoke sets the bearing and all I have to do is fully tighten and use red thread locker

So when putting the nut back on, you just go until impact stops no torqueing?
What was the brand of seal that failed? Do you recommend SKF? Update on the Seal condition?
At the end you keep going back and forth of having a nut on the flange. There's only one nut, right? And you only put it on once, right?
Question is there a break in period for a new seal
What size is the nut
If you have a bad bearing you think you can replace it with a new one without having to reset preload?
Some people like to mark the shaft and flange to make sure they go back in the same osition
Hey Jerry! Great vid!
great video dude! seals are easy to do... i just need that inch pound gauge.
would this technique work on a front 4wd diff as well?
I haven't used red loctite since I discovered blue loktite a long time ago. I had too many nuts/bolts stuck on too hard, with the red shit.
"it's never good to put it in dry" BAHAHA!!!!!!!

@Devon Cyrus Yea, been watching on InstaFlixxer for since november myself :)
Thank you very much!

Lol 😆
huh ? are they made out of butter?
Cool video, is your fuel tank wrapped in something?
I think heat shielding or insulation maybe 🤷🏻♂️
where would i find that rolling resistance tool?
It can be any inch-pound torque wrench. The point is to determine at what torque the axle rotation begins.
@@cactus809 great tip. I came to the comments wondering if anyone had had the same idea
I always have to heat the bolts a little with a torch to help loosen the locktite!
You never rechecked bearing preload after to compare to original 😏
Thanks!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Those fuel tank straps have about had it
Lots of life yet, Rotted straps makes doing a fuel pump replacement easier
Haha that’s right
I guess no one knows how to do a linc. LS 2002 go figure?
