Pinion Assembly

Pinion bearing preload spacers are available in the
following thicknesses 0.286"-0.315" (7.26-8.00
mm). Refer to S135/S150 service parts booklet for
kits of commonly used preload spacers.

Always measure each spacer before assembly to
ensure correct thickness.

Note: Closer adjustment can be made by sanding the next

thicker spacer to desired thickness using emery cloth on
a flat surface.

CAUTION: Wash spacer thoroughly of emery cuttings
before installing on pinion.

10. Repeat process until torque to rotate is between

10-40 lbs. in. After proper preload is achieved,
remove yoke and install new seal with proper service
tool.

11. Install pinion oil seal with proper service tool.

(Acceptable torque to rotate is 15-45 lbs. in. when
pinion seal is installed.)

Note: Dana strongly recommends using seal drivers when

installing new seals. Use the proper driver to ensure the
seal is square and installed to the proper depth.

CAUTION: Oil seals can be easily damaged prior to
installation. Use care when handling the new seal to pre-
vent damage or contamination. Leave the seal in its
package until installation. On new yokes, leave the pro-
tector on the yoke until it is installed on the shaft to pre-
vent damage or contamination.

12. Install end yoke using yoke installer service tool

DST1009.

Note: Spicer recommends that new torque prevailing nuts be

used.

13. Apply Loctite 680 (green) to threads.

14. Use torque multiplier and torque pinion nut to

700-900 lbs. ft. (950-1,220 N•m).
