I'll post a picture of the remnants. Let's just say if you pinion flange uses a bolt in stead of a 24mm nut DO NOT torque it past 100nm

CUpgt, Any chance I saw you on 485 the other day pulling a trailor with a car on it with your rover?

When I saw that rover I thought of you for some reason.

Here ya go Brett...if your pinion uses a bolt instead of the 24mm nylock nut do NOT torque it past 100nm or 74 ft lbs. If you get in a hurry and forget to use common sense and try to torque a 12mm grade 8.8 bolt to 130nm or 96 ft lbs it will end up looking like this and you will have a OH **** moment!
