- Install the bearing onto the pinion shaft using the J 42170 (1), the DT-48007 (2), and a hydraulic press.
- Assemble the pinion shaft (5), spacer (3), and bearing (2) into the housing/cage (4).
- Press the bearing onto the pinion shaft using the J 42170 (1), the DT-48007 (2), and a hydraulic press.
- Install the nut onto the pinion shaft using a torque wrench, the J 42172 (1), and the DT-48007 (2).
- Using a punch, stake the areas of the nut into the notches in the end of the pinion shaft.
- Measure the rotating torque of the pinion shaft using the DT-48007 . A properly assembled pinion shaft and bearings should have a rotating torque of 1.4-2.8 N·m (12-25 lb in).
