I have a Differential out of a W126 that Iam going to install in my 85 300D. I need to use the flange off the 300D and install on the W126 Diff.

The 123 has a smaller flex disc than the 126.

I purchased a new pinion shaft nut and oil seal. thought this is a good time to replace it.

I bought a new nut figuring using the old nut it wouldn`t stake in properly and might loosen up.
So how do I get the proper torque with the new nut?

also how would I use the inch pound to determine the torque preload. I have never done this before. splain it to me . Iam a dummy in this dept.

I read another thread where the guy said the nut is a little more that finger tight. something like 0.75 in lb.
