What’s the torque test on a Chevy yoke nut?

In other words, put the inch pound torque wrench on the pinion nut, with the carrier and ring gear OUT of the housing, and continuously spin the torque wrench and pinion, while reading the scale. If the drag is too low, tighten the pinion nut a small bit, and do the drag test again.

How much torque does a Chevy 4×4 have?

Crate 350.Edelbrock intake,cam and carb. You DON’T torque the yoke nut. The pinion has a crush sleeve in it that – if you over-torque it, will crush excessively and accelerate the gear wear (and it will whine a lot and possibly self destruct if bad enough).

What’s the lock thread on a torque nut?

IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY. The lock thread (whether plastic or a metal crimp style) keeps it from coming undone. Measure the depth of both of the yokes (where the shaft splines are cut into the yoke) to make sure they will fit in place of one another. You can use locktite if you want, but I wouldn’t use red – blue is good enough.
