Pinion Seal Installation

Figure 150 Install pinion spacer.

Figure 151 Install pinion nut and tighten to 1261-1396 Nm [930-1030 LBF/FT].

Figure 152 Check pinion bearing rolling resistance and record. Pinion rolling resistance recorded in figure 152 should be 1.13-3.95 Nm [10-35 LBF/IN].

If within specification remove nut, spacer and flange.

If not within specification repeat steps in figures 150-152 making appropriate spacer substitution.

If rolling resistance is too low reduce spacer thickness. If rolling resistance is too high increase spacer thickness.
