Refit
1. Clean pinion shaft, drive flange and housing.
2. Clean oil seal recess.
3. Lubricate and fit bearing to pinion housing.
4. Lubricate new seal.
5. Using a suitable adapter, press seal into
housing.
CAUTION: Oil seal must be flush with end of
pinion housing.
6. Assemble pinion to housing using new
collapsible spacer.
7. Lightly lubricate drive flange splines with
Molybdenum Disulphide grease.
8. Align pinion to drive flange reference marks
and press flange onto pinion shaft until a 2 mm
clearance exists in bearings.
9. Fit pinion assembly to mounting plate and
secure in vice.
10. Fit new pinion nut, hold pinion drive flange
using LRT-51-003 and tighten pinion nut to 150
Nm (111 lbf.ft).
11. Check pinion torque to turn figure.
NOTE: Figure for new bearings is 180 to 200
Ncm.
If original bearing figure is above 20 to 30 Ncm
and below new bearing figure, set to figure
recorded.
If original bearing is below 20 Ncm set to 20 to
30 Ncm.
12. If turning torque is too low, carefully tighten nut
and recheck reading. If turning torque is too
high, pinion assembly will have to be
dismantled and a new collapsible spacer fitted.
Reassemble using new nut and recheck turning
torque.
13. Check drive flange run-out using a Dial Test
Indicator (DTI).
CAUTION: The drive flange run-out should
not exceed 0.05 mm.
14. Remove pinion housing from vice and
mounting plate.
15. Fit pinion housing.
