2007 Cadillac Escalade ESV Rack and Pinion Seal

You will be needing a flange and pulley holding tool and a rear pinion oil seal installer.

You need to drain the drive axle, remove the tires and wheels (8.6 inches, 9.5-inch axle), the rear brake calipers (8.6-inch, 9.5-inch axle), and the brake rotors (8.6-inch, 9.5-inch axle), disconnect the propeller shaft from the axle, wrap the bearing caps with tape and support the propeller shaft as necessary and place an alignment mark between the pinion and the pinion yoke. Then you can install the J 8614-01 as shown, remove the pinion nut while holding the J 8614-01 and the washer, install the J 8614-2 and J 8614-3 into the J 8614-01 as shown, and remove the pinion yoke by turning the J 8614-3 clockwise and the pinion oil seal.
