FAQ for Differential Pinion Bearing Repair

Q: What can we know by measuring the amount of torque required to rotate the pinion?
A:
This will give the combined preload for the following components: the pinion bearings, the pinion oil seal, the differential case bearings, and the axle bearing (8.6-inch, 9.5-inch axles).

Q: How do you remove the drive pinion bearings?
A:
You need to remove the differential assembly and the drive pinion from the axle, press the bearing off of the drive pinion using the J 22912-B, remove the shim and the outer pinion bearing cup from the axle housing using a hammer and a brass drift in the slots provided, move the drive back and forth between one side of the cup and the other and remove the inner pinion bearing cup from the axle housing using a hammer and a brass drift in the slots provided. Then you can move the drive back and forth between one side of the cup and the other to work the cups out of the housing evenly.

Q: What is the recommended rotating torque of the pinion?
A:
The rotating torque of the pinion should be between 1.0-2.3 N.m (10-20 lb in) for used bearings, or 1.7-3.4 N.m (15-30 lb in) for new bearings.

FAQ for Other Repair Info

Q: How do you remove the Rear Axle Shaft (8.6, 9.5 LD Axle)?
A:
You need to remove the tire and wheel assembly, the brake caliper, the rear wheel speed sensor, the rear cover, the gasket, and the pinion shaft locking bolt. On axles without a locking differential, remove the pinion shaft. On axles with a locking differential, remove the shaft partway. On axles with a locking differential, use a screwdriver, or a similar tool, to enter the differential case and rotate the lock until the lock aligns with the thrust block. Then you can push the flange of the Axle Shaft toward the differential, and remove the C-lock from the button end of the axle shaft and the axle shaft from the housing.
Q: What should you align when positioning the CV joint end (outboard end) of the half shaft assembly in the bottom half of J 36652-1 or J 36652-2?
A:
You need to align the CV Joint Boot, the CV joint assembly, and the swaging ring.
Q: How do you install the front axle lubricant?
A:
You need to install the drain plug, fill the Differential carrier assembly with axle lubricant, and install the fill plug and the front differential carrier shield.
