Currently rebuilding the transmission, differential, and axles on a NAA. I've read in the manuel about setting the bearing preload. It looks like they are using what appears to be a small torque wrench which I don't have. My question to those of you that know a lot more about this than I do is how important is this and what have you used to set the preload. I want to do it right but considering this one will see light work is good judgment, not loose/not binding, close enough?
Thanks in advance.

Read John Smith's instructions about installing and preloading a Sherman tranny. That will give you a good idea about how to preload by touch. You're really just taking out all of the play by adding shims slowly and turning the shaft as you go, feeling the difference until it gets too tight, then backing out a shim.

I was in the same position a few months ago when completely replacing my NAA tranny guts, the great people here helped my do it by hand. I lubed my bearings with Lubriplate engine rebuilding grease, then adjusted the preload by hand. You are looking for the ability to spin the main input shaft (where it goes into the clutch) by hand just to the point where you cannot do it with just your fingers. You also want to feel SLIGHT movement when you press/pull the main input shaft.

Good luck,
Dan
