when installing or removing the bearing housing.
Lightly coat the threads of the pinion nut with out-
board lubricant and tighten to a torque of 100 to
110 ft. lbs. (136 to 149 N·m).

Check squareness of the bearing housing mount-
ing surface by holding the shim gauge bar against
the pinion while rotating just the bearing hous-
ing. Use a feeler gauge to measure clearance
between the gauge bar and the bearing housing
between each pair of screw holes. Replace the
bearing housing and repeat check if variance is
greater than 0.004 in. (0.101 mm).
