Re: Awwe Crap!
Good info deuce, but I'm not totally clear yet. I haven’t tried it myself but I would think 15 in-lbs of preload would not allow the pinion to spin as stated. If Ford wanted to call out the preload...

Re: Awwe Crap!
I know what VanPelt says, just curious where it comes from. Doesn't match the original Ford spring pull spec at all and appears to be a confused transfer of the spring spec into in-lbs. It would be...

Re: Awwe Crap!
I think we are starting to mix things up again, there is a difference between 12 - 17 lbs of pull at .55 inches of radius and 12 - 17 in lbs.
Inch pounds is defined as 17 lbs at a distance of 1...

This is from the HAMB thread referenced, he is using Ford 9 inch and 8.8 inch specifications as a "similar to" for his values.

Re: Awwe Crap!
LOL, I just read the same thread. A few post further down may explain the confusion. The original specs were with a direct pull spring scale and are in pounds. The confusion is the conversion of...

Re: Awwe Crap!
I was just quoting Tardel, if it's a type-o, he is consistent as it is quoted in more than one place.
I just checked a couple of other references and they call out 15 in-lbs. So, needs a little...

Re: Awwe Crap!
I have several of the click style torque wrenches, but still find the old beam type are useful for a lot of things. Do you happen to have an inch-lb wrench? You can just convert the ft-lbs to...

Re: Awwe Crap!
Preload should be a heavy drag, around 15 ft-lb if you are checking it to get it to start moving.
Note: I misstated something earlier, I was reading Tardels new booklet on rear axle rebuilds. In...

They are stacked, it list 8, 2 of each of the sizes on the label. The label is a little hard to read, but list the sizes included by color. The second photo is from Best site.

Re: Awwe Crap!
The gaskets come in a verity of sizes so you can get the stack down to within a few thousands. Speedways set has the following sizes included in their axle gasket kit:

You may not have the stuff laying around to do it, but I use something like jackstands or blocks. I pick up one side, block it up and then the other side and so on. By lifting it just a little at a...

Re: Awwe Crap!
Well in this case it was caused by the nuts not being torqued to the correct value (and apparently nowhere near it!). This puts the load on the keyway and not the tapper. If done correctly the...

I'm not very good at stress analysis (never liked it!), but that looks odd to me. The darkened center section with the steep sides does not look like a normal failure mode (but then re-read the...

Check out the Vern Tardel second link, it shows a clear image of a pair. Vern believes they are heavy enough.

Re: Awwe Crap!
The retainers do just that, they retain the hub and drum so that it can not come off of the bearing. Such as in your case, you would not have been able to remove the drum until the retainer was...

Re: Awwe Crap!
Are we talking a few thousands here or a 1/2 inch? When you say moving in and out I'm assuming you are referring to a significant amont.

Re: Awwe Crap!
There should be very little movement in & out of the axle. If there is movement something is wrong (other than the obvious brake at the end).
