When setting the pinion preload, do you measure the torque needed to get it to start rotating, or the torque while rotating? This is using a solid spacer with used bearings. It takes about 25 in-lb to get it to begin rotating, and about 6 in-lb to maintain rotation. Bearings are oiled. Thanks!

It didn't feel like that when I disassembled it. I didn't take any torque readings on disassembly.

Helps to smooth it out.
