Hi,

I am just wondering if there is any other way than using a torque wrench, as i can not get access to a torque wrench that will go as low as 20 inch punds to get the proper bearing preload, if there is any other accurate way to set the pinion bearing bearing please let me know?

any help is much appreciated.

Not that I'm aware of. What you need is an inch-lb torque wrench. Most local rent-all shops have them, just give one a call in your area.
