will this must be the wrong crush sleeve, i know from all the chysler `s i have done mostly 8 3/4`s , you use around 170ftlbs and the 8 1/4`s you end up with 120 ftlbs, if the prober drag i seen on the pinion at such low torque # then the bearings must be bottoming in the races before the sleeve is being loaded,i know if i put 300ftbls on this setup the pinion will bind the bearings and not move at all.
