I hope some one out there can help.
I need to know what the Torque setting is on the large bolt that holds the pinion Flange onto the Diff centre,
I had to change my flange and I was not told about the PRE-LOAD .
Now I need to know what the Torque setting is so I can bolt it up properly with out over tightening it.
The other issue is the diff is in the car and the pinion Flange is off; can this be fixed with out pulling the centre out??
There is a marking on the shaft and the nut, is it possible if I line this up it will give the correct Pre-Load that was set before I took the Flange Off?
Please any help will be appreciated; I need to get this car finished.
I'm sick of getting stuffed around by people.

Hilux Diff Centre Question. (Urgent Help Needed)
Moderators: toaddog, Elmo, DUDELUX
If you were just changing the oil seal i'd just tighten it up to the same place where the locking tab was hit in. Doing that with a new flange the problem is that one could be slightly longer than the other giving to much or to little pre load/backlash adjustment. Had a look in my manual (LN series 88-97) It reads
Drive pinion turning tourqe (bearing preload):
New bearings ......1.9-2.5NM
Original bearings..0.9-1.3NM
Total differental turning tourqe(Bearing preload):
drive pinion turning tourqe
plus 0.4-0.6NM
Crown wheel backlash...13-0.18MM
drive pinion flange runout:
vertical runout limit.......0.10MM
lateral runout limit.......0.10MM
Did you also replace the "crush washer". Done a seal in a mates using old flange and used the old mark to set it up and haven't had a drama. Might be best to ring a few diff shops to see what it would cost or maybe invest in a manual.
