dieseldoc Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Working on a 2008 F-350 single wheel with a ford 10.5 rear axle. I put new bearings on the ring and pinion. I’ve used all the old shins and my backlash and pattern look good. I have the ford manual on dvd and tells me to refer to the specifications for pinion rotating torque with new bearings, when I get there no spec for it. I have gone up and down one year trying to find it with no luck. Could someone help me out with a spec please?? Pulling back apart to install the new crush sleeve and a seal now that I know my pattern and backlash are ok. I don’t have the special tools for all the shimming so we are making it work. Had to tap in the last side bearing shim and it rotates a little stiffer than before but not a lot as expected with new dry bearings. Hope the pre-load is ok. Wish manufacturers would offer skim kits instead of everything individually for jobs like this. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
