Hi Scott I think that's the torque required to turn the pinion. Put a
socket to fit the pinion nut on a?? inch pound torque wrench; measure how
much torque it takes to turn the pinion. Get it turning and read the
torque wrench while turning it. 12 to 15 inch pounds sounds ok. With
shims either add or remove shims to get the correct preload. Thicker to
lessen and thinner to increase I think.
With a collapsible spacer it's easier. Keep?? tightening the nut and
measuring the preload until it's right. Small increments. If you over
tighten you take it apart and start over with a new spacer. (Ask me how
I know this!)
Also a "clicker" torque wrench isn't the ticket for this. Use an older
beam type.
Hope this helps.
Cheers Bill
