(b) Remove excess anti-seize compound from the EIS driveshaft.
(c) Place the washer under castellated nut and thread nut onto shaft.
(d) Torque the castellated nut to 120 to 180 in.-lbs. (14 to 20 Nm). Tighten to align
the castellated nut to the hole in the shaft. Do not exceed 250 in.-lbs. (28 Nm).
(e) Install a new cotter pin through the nut and EIS driveshaft. Bend the top prong on
the cotter pin over the driveshaft and bend the bottom prong of the cotter pin
