Default Replaced bearings on pinion and carrier

Hey so I got all the bearings replaced and now I'm trying to get everything back together
I need to know how to get the pinion but torqued correctly and how to set back lash and the torque for those adjusters that hold the carrier in place
How do you get the adjuster right so that the carrier is positioned correctly

What year, make and model truck? When you installed the new bearings, did you also re-install any shims that may have been there?

I'd suggest searching YouTube for videos on how to replace pinion and carrier bearings in a Dodge 9.25 rear. You can review the service manual for the factory procedure here - https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...e-manuals.html

If doing the pinion bearings, you might want to look at the crush sleeve eliminator.
