Raider V6-3.7L SOHC (2006)
8. Hold companion flange with Holder 6719 (2) and tighten the pinion nut to 285 Nm (210 ft. lbs.). Rotate pinion several revolutions to ensure the
bearing rollers are seated.
9. Rotate pinion flange (1) with an inch pound torque wrench (2). Rotating torque should be equal to the reading recorded during removal plus an
additional 0.56 Nm (5 inch lbs.) .
CAUTION: Never loosen pinion nut to decrease pinion bearing rotating torque and never exceed specified preload torque. If rotating torque is
exceeded, a new collapsible spacer must be installed. Failure to follow these instructions can damage the collapsible spacer or bearings.
10. If rotating torque is low use Holder 6719 to hold the companion flange and tighten pinion nut in 6.8 Nm (5 ft. lbs.) increments until proper
rotating torque is achieved.
NOTE: The seal replacement is unacceptable if final pinion nut torque is less than 285 Nm (210 ft. lbs.).
NOTE: The bearing rotating torque should be constant during a complete revolution of the pinion. If the rotating torque varies, this indicates a
binding condition.
11. Install propeller shaft.
12. Install rear brake rotors components.
