(2) Install yoke on the pinion gear with Screw
8112, Cup 8109 and Spanner Wrench 6958 (Fig. 24).
CAUTION: Do not exceed the minimum tightening
torque 271 N·m (200 ft. lbs.) when installing the pin-
ion yoke at this point. Damage to the collapsible
spacer or bearings may result.

(3) Install yoke washer and new nut on the pinion
gear and tighten nut until there is zero bearing end-
play.
(4) Tighten the nut to 271 N·m (200 ft. lbs.).
CAUTION: Never loosen pinion gear nut to decrease
pinion gear bearing rotating torque and never
exceed specified preload torque. If preload torque
or rotating torque is exceeded a new collapsible
spacer must be installed.
(5) Rotate the pinion shaft using an inch pound
torque wrench. Rotating torque should be equal to
the reading recorded during removal plus an addi-
tional 0.56 N·m (5 in. lbs.) (Fig. 25).
(6) If the rotating torque is low, use Wrench 6958
to hold the pinion yoke (Fig. 26), and tighten the pin-
ion shaft nut in 6.8 N·m (5 ft. lbs.) increments until
the proper rotating torque is achieved.
