9 in torque specs

[Big Del]

I can't find the torque specs for ring gear bolts in my 9in swapping out carriers (broken). I want to make sure I torque the ring gear correct. Backlash between 0.08 0.12?

I didnt write it I just found it for you.

Yeah I didn't know who wrote it but it's a great write up either way.

On the bearing caps are they matched to the housing, one of the cap threads are getting sharp and making it hard to get preload right and backlash a little tricky. I have some other caps that are in great shape. Is it ok to use these caps?

That's a little to far I can find them local for pretty cheap thanks.

The rear end made it through a hard day of beating mudbogs and drag racing also recovered a couple rigs, it all went good until I broke a valve stem off of a log bummer deal.
