These are suppose to have .001-.005 of endplay. Not sure where this procedure came from but the sequence is correct but after 35 ft lbs you back it off again and tighten to zero lash and back nut off to closest slot. 1 rotation of the nut is .062 so each of the 6 notches it .010 end play. Just like every other full floater on the planet they are supose to have end play. Its odd how pinion bearings can be preloaded a fair amount to meet spec but they want end play on a spindle bearing that is also lubed with gear oil. Maybe its the vehicle weight on the wheel bearings? Or maybe end play is only needed for greade packed bearings? I dont know....
Thank you, I've been doing it like that for years. I always wonder if I was doing it right. But in my old age, I like to check a few resources. Good video. Thanks for posting
So you torque it to 50ft lbs while turning them back off & retorque to 35ftlbs but if the key way doesn’t line up you tighten it up more until it does line up??? Is that how you exsplained it?? I’ve always tightened it up as much as I could while turning it then back off a quarter turn & called it good!! I always make sure that it will spine nice & freely after wards!! Has worked out every time for me!!
Yes, this style of spindle nut is a bit weird. Every other spindle nut I have done has been just like you described. But everything I could find on the 14 bolt (and I couldn't find much for this style of spindle nut) has kept more torque on the spindle nut than I am used to seeing. Thanks for watching
I was not able to find one at either of the parts stores in my small town. I ended up making one. You could try this one from amazon amzn.to/3zXPzC4 BUT! if you read the comments you have to file off the corners to make it fit. Thanks for watching
I don't know of any one place to go, I generally just start a google search and start digging. Sometimes they are easy to find, other times they are not. Thanks for watching
Interesting how everyone torques them different. I've watched several videos now, one guy goes finger tight and back off even looser to line up tab, one guy torques to 50 and calls it good, you go to 35 and its good. Chiltons manual does 35 and back off 1/4 turn. I've always just snugged it up and tightened to the next tab.
Then the Haynes manual says you torque to 50 back off a quarter then Finger tight. Then line up with the closest key slot. What I think is the case is that you can screw it up many different ways and this rear end is so reliable it will be ok. It's kind of like how everybody and their grandma has a different oil they put in 350's and they are all fine.
I’ve always heard that you’re supposed to loosen these to the next slot the key will fit in because if they’re too tight you will smoke the bearing

@@Offroadfarm1 Could you tell me where you got the socket. I cant find one anywhere. Thanks.

Excellent info thanks man.
Thanks for watching
After you seated the bearing, did you loosen the nut back to zero and then torque to 35 ft. Lbs.?
Yup! Thanks for watching
Socket part # is W1270. At least at the advance auto where I got mine
Thanks for the part number!
Where can one find torque specs for any type of trucks?
2000 f250 super duty,

I need a part number for this socket if anyone has it please!
I don't have a part number for you unfortunately. I was not able to find the correct socket and we just ended up making one. Thanks for watching
Is that a Toyota t100?

I agree, it seems there are several methods to set the preload on these axles. Thanks for watching.
When taken off,usually finger tight,I tighten em,loosen em and snug the nut to the closest slot

I just bought socket from O'Reilly auto parts P/N PFM W1270. $12.99
Thanks for sharing!
Why is caliper on front side of rotor.
It's not. The rear of the truck is to the left of the frame and the front is to the right. Thanks for watching!
