If this helps the sailsbury axle of a cortina details are crownwheel and pinion backlash 0.004-0.008" pinion bearing preload 0.001-0.003" collapsible spacer length 0.453-0.461".
Pinion is necessary to get to and replace the pinion crush sleeve that controls the pinion pre-load. It is also stated that a complete teardown of the differential is necessary as well.
I don't believe there is a specific torque specification! Once you install the crush sleeve and tighten the nut to the desired preload on your pinion bearings, your torque will be what it will be.
trying to replace rear pinion bearings 1993 ford aerostar, 7.5 rear differential...slinger washer on drive shaft side is stuck, cant get pinion shaft out, all differential parts have been removed...any suggestions?

There is no specific pinion nut torque. The pinion nut has to be tightened until the proper pinion preload is established. Pinion preload is what matters
What is the torque specs on a 2001 ford truck rear end pinion nut..
Remove driveshaft, remove pinion nut, remove rear cover, remove axles, remove differential. Push pinion out through housing.
The shim between the inner bearing and the pinion is critical and if it's lost you need special tools to set the pinion depth. replace the bearings and seal with an new crush sleeve thighten the pinion nut until the sleeve crushes and you can't move the pinion up and down. Then very slowly tighten the pinion nut checking the rotational torque. You will need an inch pound torque wrench, when the preload is correct it should take between 20-25 inch pounds of torque to rotate the pinion. If you get it too tight you need to replace the crush sleeve and start over. Proper bearing preload and gear mesh are critical.
Broken gears. The differential or ring gear or pinion gears are broken.
It may be your differential or your whole rear end or it could just be a worn out gasket.
