carrier bearings, pt. 2

P.s.: the I-h manual gives two torque values for the pinion bearing preload, one lower for used bearings, and one higher (20-40 in.lbs.) for new bearings. On the other hand, the Yukon gear booklet gives just one value, the same as the lower (used bearings) value of the I-h manual. So, which should I use?

With new bearings I usually set them up with around 25 inch pounds of preload.
