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).
