There is no specific pinion nut torque. The pinion nut has to be tightened until the proper pinion preload is established. Pinion preload is what matters
Preload is the amount the pinion bearings are squeezed together by the pinion nut.
There is no specific pinion nut torque that needs to be reached.. You just need to tighten the nut until the correct pinion preload is reached.
I don't believe there is a specific torque specification! Once you install the crush sleeve and tighten the nut to the desired preload on your pinion bearings, your torque will be what it will be.
The shim between the inner bearing and the pinion is critical and if it's lost you need special tools to set the pinion depth. replace the bearings and seal with an new crush sleeve thighten the pinion nut until the sleeve crushes and you can't move the pinion up and down. Then very slowly tighten the pinion nut checking the rotational torque. You will need an inch pound torque wrench, when the preload is correct it should take between 20-25 inch pounds of torque to rotate the pinion. If you get it too tight you need to replace the crush sleeve and start over. Proper bearing preload and gear mesh are critical.
you can adjust the spring preload just loosen the nut at the front of the shock but not eather of the mounting bolts its the biggest nut on the shocks to increase the preload using a spanner wrench turn the shock adjusting plate toward the jam nut that's the small mounting nut at the front of the shock and to decrease the preload turn the adjusting plate toward the mounting bolts at the rear of the shock do the same amount of turns to both shocks and then tighten the jam nuts.
Remove the drive shaft. Mark the relationship of the pinion nut to the pinion gear. This is necessary to maintain pinion bearing preload. Remove the nut. Remove the flange. Pry out and replace the seal. Reinstall in reverse order being sure realign the marks that were previously made. Check gear oil level and add as necessary.
remove rear drive shaft from vehicle.remove large nut ( pinion nut) at front of diff, which is generally hidden when driveshaft is in place.with a bearing puller remove pinion bearing, replace with new one. install new pinion seal. reinstall pinion cover and pinion nut. tighten to specified torgue.reinstall driveshaft check diff oil for proper amount
You will need to jack the front end up and make sure the jack stands are not in the way when you remove the rack and pinion. Next remove the front wheels. Disconnect the steering connection from the rack and pinion. Remove the front brakes and rotors. Remove pin the holds hub nut. Remove hub nut. Remove all bolts that hold rack and pinion. Remove nut the holds bottom control arm on either side, but you don't have to do both. You have to do this so you have enough play to slide the extensions that are connected to the rack and pinion. That should do it. Installation is the opposite. Good luck. You will need to jack the front end up and make sure the jack stands are not in the way when you remove the rack and pinion.

Torque specs on a 2007 ram pinion
What is the torque specs on a 2001 ford truck rear end pinion nut..
to replace pinion shaft seal you need to drop the drive shaft from the rear end then with large socket remove pinion nut from front of yoke remove yoke remove old pinion seal install new pinion seal reinstall yoke and pinion nut to specified torque re install drive shaft note now is the time to check and see if U-joints need replacing
