7. Install the pinion shaft assembly. Be sure to properly
mesh the snorkel shaft bevel gear with the pinion shaft
bevel gear.
8. Apply Loctite

to the threads of the bearing
cover retaining screws.
9. Using a 5 mm Allen wrench, install only the (3) screws
that secure the pinion shaft assembly as shown
below. Leave the longer locking screw (A) out at this
point.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT install the longer screw (A).
Installing the longer screw will lock the snorkel tube
and not allow for backlash setting adjustment.
10. Torque the bearing cover retaining screws to
specification.
11. Rotate the snorkel tube counterclockwise using the
snorkel tool (PA-50231) until the snorkel gear and
pinion gear have ‘zero’ backlash.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT overtighten the snorkel tube
when backing it out. 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.
12. Look down into the transmission housing to see the
snorkel locking screw hole opening to reference your
starting point.
NOTE: If you have a hard time seeing into the hole,
insert a small Allen wrench, punch or screwdriver
into the hole to feel when the notch is aligned with
the hole.
13. Slowly rotate the snorkel tube clockwise while
counting the number of notches passing through the
hole opening as you rotate the tube. Rotate the
snorkel tube to the 3rd notch from the ‘zero’ backlash
position obtained in step 11.
14. Check the pinion shaft gear backlash again by feel. If
the pinion shaft gear lash appears to be too tight,
rotate the snorkel shaft clockwise to the next notch
(4th notch).
15. Once the backlash is set, apply Loctite
®
242
™
to the
threads and install the locking screw to secure the
snorkel tube.
