I know...I am not very clear. Here the piece I am looking for the torque :





Somebody ?
hi olive don’t think there is a torque for this ,, there is a crush washer/ bush Behind it’s more to do with setting the pre load on bearings on pinion gear before installation of lsd , Definitely wouldn’t over tighten,or possibly end up with groaning bearings,, you could probably just take up the play on nut and lock back in place,, this nut is normally done when setting up the pinion in diff housing ,, I’d imagine if it’s really loose possibly bearings are a bit worn,, I believe pinion bearings preload is 12-23 inlbs, But this isn’t the nut torque
