Drive Pinion Companion Flange Oil Seal: Installation
- Dip seal in gear oil. Drive seal into case until flush. Press companion flange onto pinion gear, aligning punch marks made during removal.
- Loosely install lock nut. Using INCH lb. torque wrench, tighten lock nut. Tighten lock nut to preload value measured during removal PLUS 2 INCH lbs. (.23 N.m) for new seal.
- If lock nut can not be tightened to specified torque value or if preload value (measured during removal) is exceeded, removal and installation of drive pinion and collapsible spacer is required. If preload value is obtained, install lock washer.
