Procedure -
1. Using appropriate sleeve, press bearing cups in cage (see
adjacent drawings).

ing preload is correctly adjusted.
After bearing cups are installed, preselect pinion bearing
spacer using the “trial build-up” procedure described in
the Adjustments Section of this manual.
2. Press pilot bearing on pinion.
To prevent bearing damage, use suitable sleeve that only
contacts inner bearing race.
3. Stake pilot bearing using staking tool, this is essential to re-
tain the bearing.
Note: During pinion bearing installation, locate each part in
same position that was used in "Trial Build-up" Pre-
load Test.
