Message:
I need to replace the pinion seal on my 2001 Dakota, and I was just thinking, is there a torque value for the pinion nut? eight 1/iv rear terminate.
Whatever the corporeality, I should be able to get it. Got a 20-150ft/lb wrench and some other that goes to 700 ft lbs.

Never did a Dakota But I have done a lot of these over the years. this nut is very very tight as you will discover when you try to remove it. My way was to set the emergency restriction TIGHT and use a braker bar with a 3 ft. pipe on it. To adjure the presure required to losen this pinion nut I still have this QUALITY braker and it is bent. I have had a few that needed a cold chesel and hammer to split the nut to break it complimentary. E'er reinstall with a NEW QUALITY lock washer. I have never had a torque wrench big plenty to measure this presure but I did reinstall the nut using the pipe and as much presure as I could muster. Not the proper way to practise this task but it works and I never had a failure in 40 plus years in my shop.

"Lockwasher"? Never seen ane of those on a Pinion nut LOL! I assume you meant locking nut.
Be careful when you read a transmission. When you are torqing to Beat out the cruch sleeve, it takes a barrel load of torque.
If you are merely advisedly replacing the seal, you don't need equally much torque. Enough to keep things tight and together, but non enough to further crush the crush sleeve.
Using a three foot billow bar and the wheels locked. You could probably tighten the nut hard enough to go it tight without being able to crush the vanquish sleeve.
I haven't been able to crush a beat out sleeve with a breaker bar. I've had to use a hi torque impact to do that.

Replace washer was a poor expression. most practice accept a lock nut and I ALWAYS supplant it. Some older ones did have a lock washer of a type(non tipical). I don't remember they have been used in many years. Don't forget, I'm going back more and so 40 years in my shop and a lot farther and then that in years former the autos were. 250 lbs of torque sounds nearly right. Eat your wheaties before you tackle that nut lol.
So many problems .... So picayune time

OBIO3, I KNEW you had to take meant lockwasher :p
If the book says 210 or whatever, then that has to exist merely when replacing the seal. Because 210, 250, etc is NOT going to crush the sleeve. That is for sure!

LOL! Funny thing is I simply learned alot almost this but concluding year when I swapped my gears. I had farted around with swapping in junk m gear sets in the past on hobbie / backyard built hot rods but being close was expert enough on those. But on my Dak I needed information technology to TOW and be reliable. Some guy taught me alot online and I did my front and rear gears with NEW parts last autumn.
Rear ends are i part of a vehicle not every "Mechanic" will mess with. :p
I'chiliad non afraid to try something. You can always learn by breaking something if you take to. Luckily that wasn't the instance with my diffs. But I did larn well-nigh needing a higher torque impact gun than the 1 I had been using for years when it came to them pinion nuts crushing the sleeves.

210ft lbs for that nut! That info is actually appreciated!
I estimate I'll have to get out that Proto Torque wrench that I mentioned. I bought it for old JD diesel fuel tractors. Didn't think I'd use it on my truck!

Hey Brandon, did one on my 94 this spring. It would be much easier with elevator. I did mine on bulldoze up ramps. If your brakes don't concord yous
the footing. You may have to push with your leg.
With the wheels upwardly an freely spinning plow the pinion nut to meet how much torque is needed to turn the wheels. Save that number for afterward installation. After last tightening recheck the wheels for gratis spinning. If you over torque it yous could cause the bearings to article of clothing prematurly.
