3:55 r&p swap. Just disassembled the pinion gear. All info says it is supposed to be torqued at 200-240 ft/lbs then peened over at the shaft slot. It was peened but I removed it by hand. Assuming someone at sometime was in the diff and didn’t assemble correctly. No way it could have loosened and been peened over. When I unpeened the nut it broke the flap that was peened over. Nut is still usable. Appears to be brass. Question is should I/ can I just rotate the nut when torquing and peen it at a new spot. Or should I replace it? No parts numbers in the shop manuals and doesn’t appear to be available at the bigger parts suppliers. Has anyone gotten a new one and where from? Thanks in advance.
