Why did you replace the crusher sleeve? Did you set the preload on the new crusher sleeve?

Sounds like you've gone about this the wrong way. Now you have no pre-load torque specs.

Pinion preload must be set WITHOUT a carrier in the housing, or at least pulled out enough so that the gears don't touch.

Yep. I was meaning the torque spec he'd get before disassembly.

That's it. On my CJ's I believe I did 40-60in/lbs with wheels off and calipers or drums off. The right way is as described above. Carrier out of the way. Then I think its 15-30?

...it also needs to be set as running torque. You need an inch lbs dial wrench.
