Tighten the nut until the pinion end play is just taken up. Rotate the pinion while tightening the nut to seat the bearings.
7. Measure the rotating torque of the pinion. Compare this measurement with the rotating torque recorded during removal.
Tighten the nut in small increments, as needed, until the rotating torque is 0.40 - 0.57 Nm (35 inch lbs.) greater than the rotating torque recorded
during removal.
8. Once the specified torque is obtained, rotate the pinion several times to ensure the bearings have seated. Recheck the rotating torque and adjust if
necessary.
9. Install the propeller shaft (3) to the pinion yoke (4). Align the reference marks made during removal.
