9 ft-lbs (12 Nm)
fasteners to hold the pinion shaft square to establish
a zero backlash starting point. Remove the RH case
9 ft-lbs (12 Nm) half once zero backlash starting point is established.
12. Rotate the snorkel tube counterclockwise using the
—
snorkel tool (PU-52547) until the snorkel gear and
pinion gear have 'zero' backlash.

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.

snorkel locking screw hole opening to reference your
starting point.
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.
