there is no torque spec ..you have to tighten it down until the crush collar crushes and applies the proper amount of preload which you use a turning torque. wrench that measures rotational drag
the spec for this is with a new bearing 16-29 inch lbs using a torque meter that measures turning torque

um, that would be called an inch pound torque wrench.
why are you replacing the crush sleeve? what's going on with the rear end?

i used a screwdriver in the hole in the flange to hold it, my impact wasnt even strong enough, i had to use handle of the jack on a breaker bar using my leg. But you need to get the inch lbs measurement before you put the crush sleeve on.

cant i use my hand to hold it? ill set the pinion first then set the backlash right.carrier shims go on the ring gear side or the pass. side. i think i just need to pull it apart then ill be able to actually see what going on with it.
