5. Loosen the upper shaft keyless bushing of
the rack pinion to be changed.
6. For the motor side pinion, remove the upper
jaw coupling and the upper right angle drive
(see section 8).
7. From inside the vehicle, loosen the upper
shaft pillow block nuts and remove the
shims behind the pillow blocks. Keep note of
the shims position (figure 8 and figure 1).
8. Remove the pinion with its keyless bushing.
9. Install the new pinion on the driving shaft.
Check the keyless bushing condition before
putting it back in place; use a new one when
necessary. Pre-tighten the keyless bushing
to 100 lb-ft, to be able to move the slide-out
to its retracted position.
10. Reinstall the pillow blocks shims and tighten
the nuts. Leave no clearance between the
pinion and the rack. If necessary, use new
shims to adjust.
11. Reinstall (when applicable) the angle drive
and the universal joints taking care that both
jaw couplings are aligned. Re-engage the
jaw couplings.
12. With the slide-out on his supporting tables,
use the manual override procedure to move
it inside the vehicle to its retracted position.
Caution: The slide-out receptacles must be
perfectly aligned with the locking pins before
locking them.

locking pins one by one.
14. Synchronize the new pinion as described in
section 5.6.
15. Re-inflate the air seal at 10 psi.
Caution: Make sure all keyless bushings are
tightened to 125 lb-ft before unlocking the pins
or moving the slide-out. Refer to section 5.6 for
torque wrench settings.

be replaced. Slip the pinion and its bushing
out of the shaft. Check the keyless bushing
and the guide wheel condition and replace
them if needed (see section 5.7).
5. Reinstall the new pinion and the keyless
bushing on the shaft without tightening the
bushing.
6. Reinstall the driving shaft on the vehicle,
making sure the pillow blocks are located at
their same previous location and are both at
the same distance from the structure.
Replace the shims and tighten the bolts.
7. Reposition the pinion located near the driver
seat and tighten its keyless bushing as
described in section 5.6.
8. Reinstall the slide-out in the coach as
described in section 1.4.
