When to replace the pinion crush sleeve when changing gears?
When to replace the pinion crush sleeve when changing gears?
CAUTION: Do not exceed the specified preload torque and do not loosen the pinion nut to reduce preload if desired torque is exceeded. If the specified preload torque is exceeded, replace the collapsable spacer and seal. Install the yoke and the replacement pinion nut and adjust preload torque again.
How to remove bearing end play from pinion crush sleeve?
Tighten the pinion nut only enough to remove bearing end play using Tool J-8614-01 and a socket. Rotate the pinion when tightening the nut to seat the bearings evenly. Continue tightening the pinion nut to collapse the spacer and preload the bearings.
How much torque do you need for a pinion crush sleeve?
Rotate the pinion when tightening the nut to seat the bearings evenly. Continue tightening the pinion nut to collapse the spacer and preload the bearings. When a very slight increase in pinion turning effort is noted, check the pinion rotating torque using an inch-pound torque wrench. The rotating torque must be 2 to 3 N-m (15 – 25 inch pounds).
When do you need a new crush sleeve?
The crush sleeve is what controls the preload. You’re supposed to use a new one even when replacing the pinion bearing or the pinion seal. You definitely need a new one when re-gearing.
When to use a new pinion crush sleeve?
Next job is to change out the speedo gear before I get another ticket 😡 The crush sleeve is what controls the preload. You’re supposed to use a new one even when replacing the pinion bearing or the pinion seal. You definitely need a new one when re-gearing.
Do you need a new crush sleeve when changing gears?
Never done a setup on one of those. The crush sleeve is what controls the preload. You’re supposed to use a new one even when replacing the pinion bearing or the pinion seal. You definitely need a new one when re-gearing. What torque did you use when trying to set the new crush sleeve, and what torque did you use on the old one when you put it in?
Where do you put the crush sleeve on a differential?
Always use a new crush sleeve for final assembly. Slide the crush sleeve on the pinion shaft (unless you are using the trial and error method) and enstall the pinion through the rear of the housing. The yoke usually must be placed on while applying pressure on the pinion gear head to hold it in place.
What should I torque my pinion nut back to?
One Jeep dealership (no longer in business) used to re-use the old crush sleeve when doing a pinion bearing. They would torque the pinion nut back to around 275 foot-pounds, and it seemed to work okay. 500 foot-pounds? Be sure to let us know how long your pinion bearings last. The spec on a crush sleeve isn’t in foot-pounds.
