Companion Flange & Oil Seal: Installation

  1. Pack seal lip of new seal with lithium-based, extreme-pressure grease. Drive seal into housing until seated against shoulder. Install companion flange, washer and pinion nut.
    NOTE: If preload specification is exceeded, a new collapsible spacer must be installed and nut retightened until correct preload is obtained.
  2. Gradually tighten pinion nut. Turn drive pinion several times, during tightening to seat bearings. Ensure pinion bearing preload is 3-5 INCH lbs. (.3-.6 N.m) more than reading obtained during removal. Install drive shaft.
