7. Install yoke with Installer W-162-B, Cup 8109, and Holder 6958 (Fig. 46).
8. Install the pinion washer and a new nut onto the pinion. Tighten the nut to 216 Nm (160 ft. lbs.) minimum. Do not over-tighten. Maximum torque
is 352 Nm (260 ft. lbs.).
CAUTION: Never loosen pinion nut to decrease pinion bearing rotating torque and never exceed specified preload torque. If preload torque is
exceeded a new collapsible spacer must be installed. The torque sequence will then have to be repeated.

9. Using Holder 6958 and torque wrench (set at 352 Nm (260 ft. lbs.)), crush collapsible spacer until bearing end play is taken up (Fig. 47). If more
than 353 Nm (260 ft. lbs.) is needed to begin to collapse the spacer, the spacer is defective and must be replaced.
