alpha drive bearing preload

[chartersj]

Good day, i had my drive shaft yoke seal go bad on my alpha one gen 2 and i am about to put it all back together. I have been reading alot of older post and confused what rolling torque spec i need to go by. I am reusing my gear bearings but in the manual there is a drive gear spec( 2.5-4) and a driven gear spec at ( 3.5-7 inch/lbs). Which one do i use?

The gear you would be working on when replacing the yoke seal is the DRIVE gear... And the spec you are looking for is for the 'Uni-joint bearing pre-load'... Book says 3-7.5 lb-in for used bearings.....

The yoke is on the drive gear. The driven gear is the vertical shaft.
