Hello.

I changed the pinion bearing on my 1999 dodge 2500 cummins.

and i put back the shims that has been there. and if i tighten the pinion nut it will not turn.

My question is if all the shims was put back in place and i over tightened the pinion nut should the pinion still turn?

or i have to have it torqued right? I dont have a 500 torque wrench.

or should i buy a shim (between the yoke and outer bearing?.

I need to fix my diff in2 days the garage will be used after that.

thanks in advance for any help.

i believe the dana's use a "crush sleeve". it is only good for one use! and you should have changed it also.when you torq the nut down you want to use a rotational torque wrench(NOT the click type).the crush sleeve is a one shot thing and sets the preload on the bearings.
