Does the Chrysler Corporation Car Production Broadcast paper show pinion bearing preload and pinion

    The pinion nut of my 1976 Dodge Royal Monaco loosened. Does the Chrysler
    Corporation Car Production Broadcast paper that I found under the car seat
    show pinion
    bearing preload and pinion nut torque? On the paper there is PIN valued
    at 26 and P/Shaft valued at 251. Are these the factory settings of the
    pinion bearing preload and
    pinion nut torque? If not, is there a way to
    determine these through the papers.

    Does anyone know the pinion bearing preload and
    pinion nut torque that the factory used for a 1976 Dodge Royal
    Monaco?

    Thank you for a reply to this newsgroup,

    The factory service manual should give you a torque value. The later
    manuals give a rotating torque for the shaft of a few inch oz. You
    are crushing a collar inside on the shaft to set the preload so don't
    over do it because you cannot back it off it you set it too much. It
    takes a lot of FT Lbs on the nut to crush the collar. When you get
    close do 1/16 of a turn increments. It most likely will require a
    cheater bar handle extender to get enough torque to turn the nut.

  4. No, the broadcast sheet shows the equipment and trim the car was built
    with.

    Get your torque values out of the Factory Service Manual.
