Pinion Shaft
NOTE:
If pinion shaft was disassembled, the
bearing cover must be installed on the shaft
before installing the gear.
7. Install the pinion shaft assembly. Be sure to properly
mesh the snorkel shaft bevel gear with the pinion
shaft bevel gear.
8. Apply Loctite
®

™
to the threads of the bearing
cover retaining screws.
9. Using a 5 mm Allen wrench, install only the three
screws
15
that secure the pinion shaft assembly as
shown below. Leave the longer locking screw
16
out
at this point. Torque the bearing cover retaining
screws to specification.
Bearing Cover Retaining Screws:
10 ft-lb (14 Nm)
IMPORTANT: DO NOT install the longer screw.
Installing the longer screw will lock the snorkel
tube
and
not
allow
for
backlash
setting
adjustment.
10. Rotate the snorkel tube
counterclockwise
using the
snorkel tool (PA-50231) until the snorkel gear and
pinion gear have ‘zero’ backlash.
NOTE: DO NOT overtighten the snorkel tube. At
the 'zero' backlash position, you should still be
able to turn the snorkel shaft using your fingers,
but it will feel rough and may have some tight
spots.
