Power Train Disassembly & Assembly
1. Place the drive pinion and bearing cage in a press.
The pinion shaft must be toward the top of the
assembly.
2. Support the bearing cage under the flange area
with metal or wood blocks.
3. Press the drive pinion through the bearing cage.
NOTE : The inner bearing cone and bearing spacer
will remain on the pinion shaft.
4. If a press is not available, use a leather, plastic or
rubber mallet to drive the pinion through the
bearing cage.
CAUTION : Be careful when removing the seal. Do
not damage the wall of bore. Damage to the bore
wall can result in oil leaks.
NOTE : When the oil seal has been removed, always
replace it with a new seal during component
reassembly.
5. If the pinion oil seal is mounted directly in the outer
bore of the bearing cage, remove the seal at this
time.
Be careful that you do not damage the mounting
surfaces of the bearing cage.
Observe all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS provided
by the press manufacturer conerning press
operation to avoid serious personal injury and
possible damage to components during assembly
and installation procedures.
6. If the pinion bearings need to be replaced, remove
the inner and outer bearing cups from the inside of
cage. Use a press and sleeve, bearing puller or a
small drift hammer.
