1. Replace all O--rings, seals, and worn components.
2. Press the pinion shaft seal into the pinion cover,
until the seal is flush with the sealing surface.
3. Inspect bearings on output and pinion shafts. To
replace, press new bearing on to shaft.
NOTE: Due to extremely close tolerances and
minimal wear, the bearings must be inspected
visually, and by feel. While rotating bearings by hand,
inspect for rough spots, discoloration, or corrosion.
The bearings should turn smoothly and quietly, with
no detectable up and down movement and minimal
movement side to side.
4. Install pinion shaft, bearing, and input cover with
new o-ring and torque bolts to 14 ft. lbs (19 Nm).
