You can get away with about 24 pounds torque, just to be safe. A lot of the problem could be the cheap torque wrenches we buy.....many are not properly calibrated, and if they were when new, that calibration can wander over the years.

Front pinion seal is the same as the back pinion seal, and the transfer case front output is also the same as the transfer case back one.

Well finally going to get to it...maybe today. weather is nice and sunny too so...
have to ask rob torquing the four bolts for the seal/speedo gear housing 30 lbs or 25 to be safe...should I put anything on the shim pack...to seal it on the block or housing itself before bolting it on?
Also the torque of the companion flnge that holds the brake drum...it was not that tight to begine with so tighten it up as before or torque to the same as the yoke...175 ft lbs?
Hope you are doing well and the 6x is keeping you busy!
Casey

Go to 25. Grade 8 should handle 30, but why push your luck. 26 is the low end for the grade 8 I believe, so you should be OK there too.

Yoke should be very tight, so 175. It only tightens up the compnents on the shaft, and does not effect the bearing preload. That is controlled by the shims, and you are working with worn bearings anyway. We usually held the flange with a holding tool, because getting the proper torque didn't work as the engine would simply turn over. The reason the nut was loose was likely that the last guy installed it with a weak impact gun, or hand tools that were inadequate.
