Re: Q: 34 Diff: torque on housing/ pinion preload etc.
I redid a later banjo rear and the gaskets were giving me fits! They were a bit undersize on the ID and were tearing when I tried to get them over the raised lip on the face of the axle housings. I decided to cut up a few gaskets into "two hole" segments and use them for setting the carrier bearing preload. Once that was determined, I used guide pins and Indian Head to cement the "final" gaskets to the faces of the banjo casting. When the Indian Head dried, I used a utility knife with a new blade to trim the ID of the gaskets to the ID of the banjo casting.
