John,
Where are you getting your collapsible spacer? I got mine from a M#%@
dealer and I don't feel it worked too well: I think it collapsed too
easily. Were I to do it again, I would try to find some shims and perhaps a
solid spacer. I would definitely work my way up towards 140 lb-ft of
torque.
BTW, I made a tool consisting of a length of bar and a weight (one pound)
that slides along the bar to determine the 11-13 lb-in. preload. The whole
thing is attached to the differential flange using the remains of a worn out
u-joint. Works pretty neat and gravity is at least as accurate as an
expensive torque wrench!
