Getting Turbo Yukon "Uncle Rob" Ready For Rocky Mountain Race Week! Posi Diff Install PT1: Tear Down
What happens here
The ring gear bolts, now attached to the new Posi unit, are torqued down to the specified setting. This process involves using a digital torque wrench and following a star pattern to ensure even pressure and prevent warping of the ring gear. The wrench is set to 69 ft-lbs (slightly above the official 65 ft-lbs specification) and confirms proper tightening by listening for the "beep" and observing the LED indicators. A vise is used to securely hold the differential carrier during this process.
Goal: Securely fasten the ring gear to the new differential carrier.
