Hi everyone,
I broke a strap bolt on my front pinion yoke and then broke an extractor off inside that... I have a friend that is really good at welding nuts to broken bolts and getting them out. My question is on removing and installing the yoke and nut. From what I've read everyone says to take an impact to remove it but I haven't seen anything consistent on reinstalling them. I would just like to know what the best way to go on installing it back on keeping everything set right inside.
Thanks for your time.

 

You can use an impact gun to put it back on. But I would also use a torque wrench after you get the nut on just to make sure it's at the proper torque.

 

Right right but I've seen about like a torque turn process for torqueing the nut and was wondering exactly how that is done,
Thanks.

 

its just straight torqued ... I beleive its 185 on a 60 and a 70 ... dontthink it matters front or rear .. but 200 will keep it there

 

Alright thanks for the help and info! As soon as it stops snowing here I'm gonna get this tackled!
