I=E2=80=99m rebuilding my differential. The manual says the pinion =
bearings should be assembled with spacers to yield a=20
12-16 lb/inch pre-load, using a bar affixed to the input flange and a =
sliding weight. Of course there is a churchhill tool for that!
Either I=E2=80=99m not grasping the concept, or 12 lbs per inch =
doesn=E2=80=99t seem right. I=E2=80=99m guessing this is supposed to be =
12 inch-pounds,
which I think means a one pound weight at the end of a 12=E2=80=9D =
lever. All testing is performed with the seal removed.
Even if I am correct, I=E2=80=99ve got it set up with about a 1/2 lb =
pre-load right now, and that feels pretty stiff already.
Anyone have any experience with this? This is a GT6 diff, but I=E2=80=99m=
guessing the instructions don=E2=80=99t vary much.
Thanks,
