getting ready to replace my pinion seal...shop manual says torque nut to 130 nm which according to my conversion chart is 90 ft./lbs...that seems a little low to ones i've changed on other vehicles..can anybody confirm manual is correct?

 

It is a nyloc nut. The torque is correct.

 

i think that conversion chart i used was off...should of been 95.88 ft/lbs

 

Whats a torque wrench?

130 newton meter = 95.88 pound foot

 

if you google nm to lbs conversion be careful..the first link gives you a wrong number

 

that's why I always use onlineconversion.com, have them my bookmarks toolbar.

 

Anti provided the conversion factor so you can just do some simple math from there and figure it yourself.

 

I didn't even look at the conversion. I usually have to reverse it because I have a metric dial torque wrench...
