antiseize, not threadlock on pinion nuts, right?!?

Can't reach FSM and/or recommended torque setting for D30 pinion nut with red loctite. duh :nono:

Now thinkin' that light oil or anti-sneeze is standard practice, no?!?

Thanks, need answer soon :rattle:

Nah - there's a reason you can get big, honkin' torque wrenches!

If you use engine oil, reduce the "clean, dry" torque spec by 1/3.

If you use never-seez, reduce the "clean, dry" torque spec by 1/2.

For those of us who don't have "big, honkin' torque wrenches," the use of never-seez becomes standard practise, and is acceptable. I think my biggest torque wrench hits 150 pound-feet...

Never use Anti-seize on a pinion nut,Only use Loctite,preferably Blue.Torque to spec!

Well, I'd figured I'd need another couple of tools to set up R&P sets. I'll just have to add a bigger torque wrench to that list (say, 300 pound-feet or so?)
