Hi JW

I managed to install the new pinion seal today and also tightened up the new pinion nut. As I dont have the necessary tool to measure the torque required, I just simply tightened it as best as possible - i.e. very tight! I used a Cleveland Nut and also Lock tite. It should never come loose again. I am hoping to start assembly soon, but is still waiting for the axle shaft seals.

The markings on my ring gear is as follows -

373215 - 4.1 Packard 3-50 59056

What does this mean for my ratios?

Regards
Barrie
