Quick question. 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!
