Pinion Flange & Oil Seal: Installation

Install seal. Align marks on flange and pinion. Install flange and new integral nut and washer. Hold companion flange and gradually tighten nut.
Rotate pinion occasionally and check pinion bearing preload often, until original preload is obtained.
NOTE: If desired preload is exceeded, a new collapsible spacer must be installed and nut re-tightened until proper preload is obtained.
