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?

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.

 

rotating spec is 24 inch lbs

 

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

Get your torque values out of the Factory Service Manual.
