There is no specific torque for the pinion, you crush the spacer untill you get the correct preload on the pinion bearings.

If you have installed the trutrac into an existing diff you shouldn't have to remove the pinion?..or have you put in all new bearings?

If you have replaced the bearings you will need to check the pinion depth as well.

looks like someone reads as well as they write.
14 in/lb (1.6 Nm) start torque with new bearing.

site has a heap of examples you can follow, complete with pictures :D
