Default Crush sleeves

Anybody know of a video that explains how to install a crush sleeve on a rear pinion and the torque specs. I'm hoping I can put this in to eliminate the whining and looseness of my bearing. Thanks

ton's of videos on youtube. there's also a crush sleeve eliminator for the 9.25. a bit more hassle to get it set up right, but eliminates the possibility of your pinion loosing preload. crush sleeve's crush, solid spacers don't.

+1 on the solid spacer. It works great and uses shims along with the spacer to get the bearing preload set right.

Here is a video explanation of the difference between using a crush sleeve vs. a solid spacer.


If I were you, I'd take your differential work to someone experienced in doing that type of work. In my humble opinion, the parts involved are just too expensive for trial and error.
