6. Hold pinion yoke with Yoke Holder 6719A (2) and tighten nut with torque wrench (3) to 292 Nm (215 ft. lbs.). Rotate pinion shaft several
revolutions to ensure bearing rollers are seated.
7. Rotate pinion (2) with a inch pound torque wrench (1). Rotating torque should be equal to reading recorded during removal, plus 0.56 Nm (5 inch
lbs.).
CAUTION: Never loosen pinion nut to decrease pinion rotating torque and never exceed specified preload torque. Failure to follow these
instruction will result in damage.
8. If rotating torque is low, use Yoke Holder 6719 to hold the pinion yoke and tighten the pinion shaft nut in 6.8 Nm (5 ft. lbs.) increments until
proper rotating torque is achieved.
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.
9. Install brake components.
10. Install propeller shaft.
