Drive Pinion
The stake must be deep enough to enter the machined slot
of the pinion. See diagram below.
Failure to stake the pinion nut properly may result in the nut
coming loose during service. The pinion nut should never
be reused, always replace with new.
22. For D170 assembly, install the pinion cover. Apply a
bead of Loctite 518 sealant to the outer flange of the
cover.
23. Install the cover, making sure that the cover is paral-
lel to the carrier opening.
24. Use a dead blow mallet to seat the cover.
25. If a pilot bearing web is used, lineup the web to
the locating sleeves and tap in place with a rubber
mallet.
26. Install capscrews and torque to the proper specifica-
tions. See the Torque Chart.
