Power Train Disassembly & Assembly
CAUTION : Do not install tight fit yokes on shafts
using a hammer or mallet. A hammer or mallet will
damage the yoke.
b. Temporarily install the drive pinion and cage
assembly in the carrier. Do not install shims under
the bearing cage.
c. Install the bearing cage to carrier capscrews.
Washers are not required at this time. Tighten the
capscrews by hand until snug.
d. Fasten a yoke bar to the input yoke. The bar will
hold the drive pinion in position when the nut is
tightened.
e. Tighten the nut on drive pinion to a torque of 922
to 1132 lb•ft(1250 to 1535 N•m).
f. Remove the yoke bar.
g. Attach a torque wrench on the drive pinion nut.
Rotate the drive pinion and read the value
inducated on torque wrench.
h. If the preload (torque) of pinion bearings is not
within specifications, remove the pinion and cage
assembly from carrier. Do the following procedure
then repeat steps a through g.
•
To increase preload, install a thinner bearing
spacer.
•
To decrease preload, install a thicker bearing
spacer.
10. After adjusting preload of pinion bearings,
remove the drive pinion and bearing cage from
carrier. Follow steps 1-5 on page 14-15.
