to the threads of the bearing
cover retaining screws.
9. Using a 5 mm Allen wrench, install only the three
screws
that secure the pinion shaft assembly as
shown below. Leave the longer locking screw
out
at this point. Torque the bearing cover retaining
screws to specification.
Bearing Cover Retaining Screws:
10 ft-lb (14 Nm)
IMPORTANT: DO NOT install the longer screw.
Installing the longer screw will lock the snorkel
tube and not allow for backlash setting
adjustment.
10.Rotate the snorkel tube counterclockwise using the
snorkel tool (PA-50231) until the snorkel gear and
pinion gear have ‘zero’ backlash.
NOTE: DO NOT overtighten the snorkel tube. At
the 'zero' backlash position, you should still be
able to turn the snorkel shaft using your fingers,
but it will feel rough and may have some tight
spots.
