17. Place the slinger on top of the bearing, and
place the seal in the bore and use seal driver
C-3972-A to install the seal (Figure 33).
19. Slide the collapsible spacer on the pinion
stem, and slide the pinion through the carrier
(Figure 35).
18. Tap the driver to install the seal.
NOTE: Tap the driver a few times to be sure the
seal is seated in the bore, and the sealant flat-
tened in the bore. Look through the pinion seal
hole to see if the garter spring on the seal fell off
(Figure 34). Installing the seal with a hammer
does work, but occasionally the shock from
hitting the tooling may knock the spring off the
seal. If a press is available, it should be used.
NOTE: Do not grease the inner pinion bearing
during installation.
20. Match up the pinion splines with the end yoke.
21. Use the pinion installer C-3718 to pull the end
yoke tight to the pinion (Figure 36).
