1. NOTICE: The color on the rear face of the drive pinion nut is critical to this repair. Use the same color new drive pinion nut for
installation. If a new collapsible spacer must be installed for pinion bearing preload reduction, install the nut supplied with the new
spacer kit or damage to the component may occur.
Remove the axle shafts.
2. Remove the driveshaft. For additional information, refer to Drive/Propeller Shafts, Bearings and Joints.
3. Install a Nm torque wrench on the pinion nut and record the rotational torque required to maintain rotation of the pinion through several
revolutions.
