02 explorer torque specs

[popoo55]

I need to find the torque specs for the pinion nut and spindle I can't seem to find the info anywhere

 

[EXPLORER04]

There is no ft lb torque spec for the pinion nut. It is based off pinion bearing preload. The easiest thing to do is to index mark the nut and flange and count the number of turns to remove Than turn the exact number of turns to put back on. Just like in this video. Hope it helps.
