Diff seal Torque settings

[mark anthony thomas]

I've changed the pinion seal on my 2007 3lt S type but i cant find the torques setting to tighten the main nut up. Any help please

hi

if you mean the big nut in the prop coupling, the y shape part, there is no torque setting, hope you marked where and how many turns you took it off

the tightness of that nut effects the pinion to crown wheel clearance, so if it not correct, you get incorrect gear contact and premature gear failure,

there should be some resistance when you turn it and the amount of resistant is a measured value.

have the setting somewhere will try to find them

but look on you tube for differential stting procedure and you will know what i mean

if you marked the nut and counted the turns then it will be ok

cheers
