Tools Required
* DT-48007 Spline Holder
* J 42164 Getrag Axle Pinion Gear Holder
* J 42170 Getrag Axle Bearing Race Installer
* J 42172 Getrag Axle Bearing Race Installer




1. Install the bearing onto the pinion shaft using the J 42170 (1), J 42164 (2) or DT-48007 (2), and a hydraulic press.




2. Assemble the pinion shaft (5), spacer (3), and bearing (2) into the housing/cage (4).




3. Press the bearing onto the pinion shaft using the J 42170 (1), J 42164 (2) or DT-48007 (2), and a hydraulic press.





Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice.

4. Install the nut onto the pinion shaft using a torque wrench, the J 42172 (1), and the J 42164 (2) or DT-48007 (2).

Tighten the nut to 500 N.m (370 lb ft).

5. Using a punch, stake the areas of the nut into the notches in the end of the pinion shaft.
6. Measure the rotating torque of the pinion shaft using the J 42164. A properly assembled pinion shaft and bearings should have a rotating torque of 1.4-2.8 N.m (12-25 lb in).
