  3. Assemble the pinion shaft, spacer, and bearing into the housing/cage. Press the bearing onto the pinion shaft using J 42170, J 42164, and a hydraulic press.
  4. Install the nut onto the pinion shaft using a torque wrench, J 42172, and J 42164. See Figure. Tighten the nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . 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 J 42164.
