h
screws that secure the pinion shaft assembly as
shown below. Leave the longer locking screw
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 until the snorkel gear and pinion gear
have 'zero' backlash.
Snorkel Tool
PA-50231
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.
