Hi Guys,
I'm helping a fellow TR6 neighbor rebuild his TR6 differential. The
differential has been removed and is on the bench.
We have a question that has us stumped. With the pinion gear installed
in the differential unit and the pinion nut properly torqued, the
pinion gear is suppose to begin to spin when 15 - 18 inch pounds of
torque is applied. This torque is adjusted by adding or subtracting
shims.
Is there a "creative" way to measure that torque?
As an example...think of tightening the hub nuts on the front wheels.
If you tighten them too much they are hard to turn by hand...it takes
more torque to spin them. If the nuts are loosened, the wheel spins
easily...less torque.
I'm trying to measure the torque that is needed to spin the pinion gear.
Thanks,
Bill
