My gear box is - C150 bellhousing and end cap, C56 centre housing with C56 gearset (gearset is too long to fit in C150 centre housing), TRD4.7:1 final drive and TRD lsd.

Setting that preload was painful. I had an assortment of shims from 3 gearboxes and played around with combinations of them until I got it close to the factory spec. The torque wrench I used to measure this was nothing more than a foot long bar attached to an inner cv joint with a fishing scale hooked on to the bar. Dodgy at best but seems to have worked.
