Default Pinon Seal

Does anyone know what the torque spec is for the pinon yoke? I am about to change my pinon seal and just wanna make sure I do it right.

Thanks.

I think this is what you're looking for:

CAUTION: The driveshaft centering socket yoke fits tightly on the pinion flange pilot. To make sure that the driveshaft centering socket yoke seats squarely on the pinion flange, tighten the driveshaft flange bolts evenly in a cross pattern. Install the driveshaft flange bolts.
Tighten to 103 Nm (76 ft. lbs.)

i just did mine a few weeks ago. I just marked the threads on the pinion shaft to the pinion nut. with a die grinder. and count the threads but you'll feel it snug up so you won't really need to count threads putting it back. The ford procedure is way too much unnecessary work. It was a nice little job 1-2 hours. no leaks since.
