I got a new yoke for my dana 60 and was wondering if it has a crush sleeve or something similar lime the 14bff. Also what would the torque spec be

If it's a GM D60 there is no crush sleeve, just torque it down to 250 ft. lbs. or so. The factory spec is pretty wide (something like 200-300 ft. lbs. IIRC).
There are lots of Dana axles out there that use crush sleeves but none of the GM Dana 60's did.

There is no crush sleeve on a D60 axle and the torque spec is 260 ft/lbs on the pinion nut.
There are plenty of D60's that use crush sleeves, just not GM ones.
Well I guess I should take my own advice and not assume he has a GM D60.
I've yet to see any Dana axle though that used a crush sleeve (not saying some didn't but i've never ran across one yet).

You never know...
AFAIK the Dodge Kingpin ones are all shims too.
LOTS of them use crush sleeves, but mostly 90's and newer D30, D35 (HP and LP), D44 and D60 (and maybe the bigger ones too, have only done a couple of those). Many master bearing kits include both shims and a crush sleeve to cover everything.

Yea its a gm dana 60 I think out of a mid eighties k30. When u check the rotational torque on the 14bff I know u take the tires off but do u also pull the axle shafts so the friction of the brakes don't interfer

K so I shouldpull everything then check the torque then replace the yoke to that spec

No, if you do not replace the bearings the preload should be 8-10 inch lbs.
It would be very wise to read the D60 Bible SweetK30 posted above.
Personally I would check the current preload, backlash and pattern to ensure everything is within spec. If not I would correct anything out of spec.

Yea that's probably a good idea. Does the pinion nut for the dana 60 get replaced the same way the 14 b nut does
Yes, you should replace the pinion nut on ANY axle when removing it.

Also, if you are setting up gears or plan to take the nut off a few times be sure to grind out the lock so it wont destroy your pinion threads. Then use a brand new locking nut on your final assembly.

i got new nuts and seals and crush sleeves on there way.....if i try to zip the pinion nut off with an airgun are you saying i will strip the theads?
no it wont. but running the nut on and off a lot durring set up will.
and dont forget 14ff yokes are pressed off the pinion. thay are on real tight.

To ensure proper torque spec you should also pull the carrier.
If one were to pull the carrier...there's no reason to pull the tires or shafts or anything
I'm just giving you a hard time by the way

The carrier can't be pulled without pulling the axles.
