The next step is to install the pinion races and pinion. Generally, the stock pinion depth shim (located between the pinion bearing and the pinion head) will be the correct thickness and can be reused with the new components. When assembling the pinion into place, include the crush sleeve between the two pinion bearings. This sleeve must be replaced every time the pinion nut is torqued. Many mechanics use an impact gun while others insist the nut should be torqued by hand. Either way, the nut should be tightened to produce 24-32-in-lb of torque to turn the pinion gear with a new bearing. This is without the ring gear in place. View Related Article
