[Bricklin] rear end

[D Walker]

If you're changing the pinion seal. The factory 1974 manual says to jack it up remove wheels and drums. Mark the position of the U joint in the yoke. Drop the drive shaft. Use a inch pound torque wrench to spin the pinion and record the reading for re-assembly.  Make sure you mark the yoke and pinion shaft after the nut is removed to keep the factory position of the two parts. Buy a new yoke/pinion nut. Don't over torque the yoke nut. Just take out the end play and tighten just enough to reach the pre-recorded torque.  There's a crush spacer in there that preloads the pinion bearings. If you crush it to far you will have to replace it. And that isn't fun. Been up since 2:00 AM Good Night
