(6) If rotating torque is low, hold pinion yoke with
Holder 6958 (Fig. 8) and tighten the pinion shaft nut
in 6.8 N·m (5 ft. lbs.) increments until proper rotat-
ing torque is achieved.
CAUTION: If the maximum tightening torque is
reached prior to reaching the required rotating
torque, the collapsible spacer may have been dam-
aged. Replace the collapsible spacer.
(7) Install half shafts.
(8) Align reference marks and install propeller
shaft.
CAUTION: The propeller shaft strap bolts incorpo-
rate a Loctite patch. The screws must be replaced
or cleaned and Loctite thread locker applied when-
ever they are removed.
CAUTION: Replace propeller shaft universal joint
straps whenever they are removed. The straps
slightly deform when torqued in place. Reuse of the
straps may result in reduced clamp load on the uni-
versal joint cap.
(9) Fill the differential gear lubricant.
(10) Lower the vehicle.
