U-Joint and Pinion Gear
Inspection
1. Inspect pinion gear for pitting, chipped or broken teeth and excessive or uneven wear.
If any of these conditions exist, it will be necessary to replace complete drive gear and
bearing assembly.
2. Rotate bearings on pinion gear by hand. Rough, uneven movement, or a loose condition
indicates need for replacement. If drive gear is in good condition then it will be necessary
to replace bearings only.
3. Inspect U-joints for a loose or rough movement and deteriorated seals. If any of these
conditions exist, then replace cross and bearing assembly.
Disassembly
1. Remove nut and washer from U-joint shaft and remove drive gear and bearings as an
assembly. Remove remaining components.
