I need to do the drive shafts in my JK. I hope my ticket gets pulled but either way it went to a good cause, I enjoyed some cool trails when I was stationed in SoCal.
Fred, at 733 you start talking about the rear pinion yolk and pinion only bearing rolling torque of 5 to 7 inch lbs. Ive gone thru 3 sets of pinion bearings in my jl. Where did you find this rolling torques spec as danas website published 12 to 19 on the pinion only. Thanks for any info you could share. Great videos too!!!
I know its a little overkill but if I'm replacing the pinion yoke or seal I'll go as far as removing the tires, brake calipers and even the rotors to get as close to the true bearing preload as I can. I'll also shoot for the same load reading, but even if I go 2 1/2 over I'm not going to sweat that, but I wont go any higher then that.
aftermarket drive shafts are smaller in diameter than factory shafts are. but the wall thickness is much greater in the aftermarket drive shafts. one of the reasons why people upgrade their drive shafts.
I hate it when people use impacts to assemble. That is wrong and you know it. You don't do it a lot, but you did it here. You did dot show it, but you told us. Sure a pinion it will probably be okay, but it is still wrong.
I am not a fan of attaching things with impacts, but when you have a pinch nut of that diameter, it is very hard to snug something up with a ratchet. I see nothing wrong with what he did. In an ideal world it would be a ratchet and a torque wrench or the torque meter that he showed.
Is this a Batman and Baxter approved modification?? 😂😂
Thanks for all of the off road tech Fred. You rock!👍
Don't let an inadequate shaft ruin your next adventure
That’s what she said!

The front driveshaft looks smaller than the factory. Just a different style yoke. I would like to have the dust covers too, just for added protection.

@@TwoFeatherChannel I know that. I have aftermarket driveshafts in my YJ . It doesn't look as small as the one in the video.
Can I pick it up at your shop ?
First view, 👍, and comment.
