hey yall this last sunday i change my pinion seal and i droped my driveshaaft to get to it . .and i just want to make shure i tighted up my yoke enough . . i know im suppose to use a torque wrench but i had no room to use it because it was on stands so i just used a reguler socket wrench . .and i was wondering how i would know it was tightend down enough i havent drove the car much since the replacement but is there a sign to watch out for if my yoke aint tight enough??? thanks

 

anybody out there

 

Actually, you most likely tightened them even more than needed. I forgot the exact spec on those bolts but it was something (i considered) crazy like 15 lb/ft. I always tighten those bolts without a torque wrench (even though I do have one) and never had a problem.
