Drive Pinion Installation

1. Check splines on the pinion shaft to be sure they are free of burrs. If burrs are evident, remove them by using a fine crocus cloth, working in a rotational motion. Wipe the pinion clean.

2. Place the collapsible spacer on the pinion stem shoulder.

Pinion Assembly Installation:




3. From the rear of the axle housing, install the drive pinion assembly (drive pinion, shim(s), rear bearing cone and roller, and collapsible spacer) into the housing pinion bore.

4. Install the front cone and roller, and oil slinger on the pinion.

Installing Pinion Seal:




5. Clean the oil seal seat surface. Install the seal in the carrier using Pinion Oil Seal Installer, T83T-4676-A. Coat the lips of the seal with Long-Life Lubricant, C1AZ-19590-BA (ESA-M1C75-B) or equivalent.

CAUTION: Installation without the proper tool may result in early seal failure. If seal becomes cocked during installation, remove it and install new one.
