for that job I would use an impact and red lock tight done in 10 minutes. EXACTLY I don’t give a sh!t what MW says, on a shimmed pinion it will not go any tighter. Shims don’t compress! Bearings don’t compress! UNLESS there’s 500 tons on it! Yep, but he says "Sounded like BS to me too... until I tried it." There must be places where the laws of physics don't apply.  I'm not talking double digits. More like a couple of inch pounds, for those who are trying to dial it in to a preferred number. That's okay though. Maybe those were days I did some mushrooms and hallucinated it all. And messing with ‘rear ends’ maybe ?! Ladies of course lol I always needed a few more ‘inch pounds’!

Until you crush is too much is what I found on the 489 cases, once it is to short your done adjusting them. You have to replace the crush sleeve or buy a spacer and use shims until you get it correct  I have added a shim from a solid spacer kit between the crush sleeve and the outer pinion bearing and reestablished proper rotating torque spec.
running up my post count some more .
