[Bricklin] Pinion nut

[Rick at High Tech Coatings]

the torque they talk about measuring is the torque it takes to turn the rear
end, usually measured in inch pounds
It is best measured with the drums removed. if you get the drag/torque close
to the same then you should be good and whine free,
 Greg if you rear end doesn't whine or clink you are pretty close
