    Ford 9inch torque specs & bearing preloads

    I'm hopefully going to be setting up the new 4.56 gears tomorrow but I'm having trouble finding factory specs on the bearing preloads & torque specs for everything. What stuff I have found is all conflicting information. I can't seem to find real Ford specs. Do any of you guys have any of this information from a Ford manual?

    That has crossed my mind, then all I got to do is find the bearing preload numbers.

    LOL Unfortunately the 9inch can't seem to handle the power that the GM motor is making. I ripped 9 teeth off the ring gear, which is why I needed specs. I'll see if I can get a pic of the ring gear to post up.

    On a serious note though, I've had nothing but issues with this rear from day one. It's mostly due to so called "Professionals" setting up the gears.
