Re: Dana 30 gear noise
Thanks Mike. I knew there was a reason why I wasn't winning the lottery.
I used all my luck up when I replaced the rear yoke on my YJ. I just
snugged the replacement up tight until I got out of the woods, and then
tightened it to 35 in-lb running torque. I won't do that again but it
has lasted about 70,000 miles so far. Live and learn.

Hi Mike,
Ditto, and with it all together, I would go by feel, rocking the
yoke with my left hand as I cinched it up.

Re: Dana 30 gear noise
Geez, buy yourself a pipe wrench:
http://www.----------.com/pipewrench.jpg to hold the yoke, while you
torque it, how could you set it up with the pinion walking up the
bearing races away from the ring gear that's holding it.
