I just installed a pinion seal in my 51 Ford. I have it flush with the pinion opening and my question is how far should it be countersunk. It looks like when I tighten the pinion yoke nut that the driveshaft yoke flange is touching the seal. Also how tight should the nut be? Thanks

In the CHILTONS book I have it says to mark it before removel and reinstall the same tightness, it seems by the book that the DRIVE PINION NUT sets the preload on the pinion bearing, also according to my 1953 CHILTONS book it says there is a deflector plate in front of the pinion seal, I would think the seal has to be countersunk enough so the yoke does not hit it, I hope you can get few more answers,lets hope superreal will weigh in and help you out, and hope this helped, 37RAGTOPMAN If I was you I would look for a few AUTO REPAIR manuals its hard to do auto repair without one, try the local libarary,or E-BAY is another good source This message was edited by 37RAGTOPMAN on 3-7-11 @ 12:24 PM

Speaking of books, what should I consider getting to understand and maybe do some repair work on my 34 pickup? Doesn't need much now but it's very slightly older than I am and I can testify that as the years go by, the frequency of malfunctions accelerate. I have the 1933-34 Ford Book and the Green 112 inch Instruction Book.

There should be shims under the yoke to control the position. Then a slinger and a flange that go between the yoke and the casing. The yoke is tightened to 140-180 ft lbs, according to the Ford manual. If the seal is in place, the yoke shouldn't be in contact with it. This message was edited by supereal on 3-8-11 @ 10:43 AM
