Default Crush Sleeve

How much torque is needed to make sure I have this tighten down right? I am installing a complete diff in my car that has the gears already set. I plan is to just yank to old diff out and just put the new one in.

The right tightening is measured by the "preload" on the pinion. 20 inch lbs is about right I think, just don't overtighten because you can't back it off, it's a use once item, so take your time and tighten slowly.
