15. Install the J 8614-01 onto the pinion yoke as shown.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
Important: If the rotating torque is exceeded, the pinion will have to be removed and a new collapsible spacer installed.
16. Tighten the pinion nut while holding the J8614-01.
^
Tighten the pinion nut until the pinion end play is just taken up. Rotate the pinion while tightening the nut to seat the bearings.
17. Measure the rotating torque of the pinion using an inch-pound torque wrench.
^
The rotating torque of the pinion should be 1.0 - 2.8 Nm (10 - 25 inch lbs.) for used bearings, or 1.7 - 3.4 Nm (15 - 30 inch lbs.) for new
bearings.
18. If the rotating torque measurement is below 1.0 Nm (10 inch lbs.) for used bearings, or 1.7 Nm (15 inch lbs.) for new bearings, continue to
tighten the pinion nut.
^
Tighten the pinion nut, in small increments, as needed, until the torque required in order to rotate the pinion is 1.0 - 2.8 Nm (10 - 25 inch lbs.)
for used bearings, or 1.7 - 3.4 Nm (15 - 30 inch lbs.) for new bearings.
19. 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.
20. Install the differential.
21. Fill the axle with axle lubricant lubricant. Use the proper fluid.
22. Lower the vehicle.
