Question 1

How to replace the pinion bearing on an 8.6 Inch Axle on Chevrolet Colorado?

Accepted Answer

When replacing the Pinion Bearing of an 8.6 inch axle begin by elevating and supporting the vehicle. Work on the axle by first removing the Differential assembly together with the pinion gear. The dt 49275 - Pinion Bearing remover together with the j 22912-b - bearing remover enable the Pinion Bearing and spacer's removal by placing a brass drift in the axle housing while moving the drift forward and backward to achieve uniform cup extraction. The procedure includes the removal of both outer and inner Pinion Bearing cups through puncturing them with a hammer and brass drift. The installation of the outer bearing cup starts with the j 28677 - needle bearing installer alongside the j 8092 - universal driver handle and concludes with the dt 49032 - Pinion Bearing cup installer for the inner cup. Place the selective pinion spacer with its proper thickness onto the pinion gear. Install the Pinion Bearing with its spacer using the j 22828 - input shaft gear installer while hammering and maintaining adequate lubrication by applying axle lubricant. The axle housing receives the pinion outer bearing before the pinion gear installation and completion with the new pinion seal. The installation process requires placing back the Differential components and lubricating the axle properly ahead of returning the support system and decreasing the vehicle height.

Question 2

How to replace the drive pinion bearings on Chevrolet SSR?

Accepted Answer

The process of drive Pinion Bearing replacement starts by suspending the vehicle then removing the Differential assembly followed by separating the drive pinion from the axle. The installer tool j45871 must surround the Pinion Bearing before adding the split-plate bearing puller j22912-01 upside down near j45871 to remove the bearing from the pinion. The shim should be removed first before extracting the inner and outer Pinion Bearing cups using a hammer along with a brass drift that ensures equal extraction. The installation of external and internal Pinion Bearing cups requires the rear Pinion Bearing race installer (J8611-01) together with the universal driver handle (J8092) and the rear Pinion Bearing race installer (J8608) also using the j8092 as an installation tool. To select the appropriate shim thickness for the pinion scan the option between the inner Pinion Bearing and the gear shoulder. Install the inner Pinion Bearing with the pinion cone and side bearing installer (J24433) until it reaches the shim stage then insert a new collapsible spacer. The required axle lubricant must be applied to both pinion bearings before installing the pinion into its position within the axle housing with the outer Pinion Bearing and new pinion oil seal through the use of the extension housing oil pump/seal installer (J38694). Apply sealant to the pinion yoke splines before inserting the yoke at its original position using the marks made during removal then seat it with a soft-faced hammer. Place the washer on top of the new pinion nut while you mount the flange and pulley holding tool (J8614-01) to the pinion yoke. Use the j8614-01 while tightening the pinion nut to achieve a just-taken-up end play for the pinion through bearing seating rotation. Test rotating torque using an inch-pound torque wrench to validate the measurement within the described tolerance limits for used or new bearings. Continue manipulating the pinion nut through few small increments until the preferred torque value is obtained before rotating the pinion multiple times for bearing seat validation. The vehicle requires reinstallation of Brake Calipers alongside brake rotors and tire and wheel assemblies along with Differential assembly and lubricant filling before lowering the vehicle.

Question 3

How to replace the Pinion Bearing on a 10.5 Inch Axle on Chevrolet Tahoe?

Accepted Answer

The procedure for replacing Differential drive pinion gear pinion bearings on 10.5 inch axles starts with vehicle support and raising. Start by removing the Differential assembly followed by disassembly of the pinion yoke together with the oil seal. The next step should be to eliminate the drive pinion housing assembly. A press machine and suitable tool will help users remove the drive pinion gear pinion along with the collapsible spacer. Using the j 22912-b (Bearing Remover) and a hydraulic press you must remove the inner drive Pinion Bearing which requires a brass drift for performing an even work on bearing cups. The same sequence should be used to remove the outer and inner Pinion Bearing cups and the pinion gear pilot bearing. Installation of the drive pinion gear pilot bearing starts by placing it inside the Differential housing then using the j 22761 (Side Bearing Installer) and j 8092 (Universal Driver Handle) tools for insertion. After fitting the j 37624 (Pinion Bearing Installer) with the j 8092 (Universal Driver Handle) install the inner Pinion Bearing cup. Proceed to install the outer Pinion Bearing cup using the j 8608 (Pinion Bearing Cup Installer) also with the j 8092. The installation of the deficient inner Pinion Bearing uses the j 24433 (Pinion Bearing Installer) combined with a hydraulic press and requires the new collapsible spacer installed afterwards. The pinion bearings should receive axle lubricant before the outer Pinion Bearing gets installed into the retainer. After installing the new pinion oil seal through the j 44414 tool you should place the pinion into the bearing retainer and the drive pinion flange/yoke. Insert an original shim of 0.41 mm (0.016 in) size, unless the original shim is not available, to attach the pinion gear bearing retainer onto the axle housing. For used bearings check the pinion rotating torque between 10-20 lb in (1.0-2.3 Nm) and for new bearings check between 15-30 lb in (1.7-3.4 Nm). The device j 8614-01 (Flange Holder and Remover) helps to achieve specified torque values by regular pinion nut tightening whenever measurements fall below established limits. Check the pinion rotation to verify the bearings seated position before checking and adjusting the torque measurement once more. The last step includes reversion of the Differential assembly followed by adjusting the Differential side bearing preload and drive pinion gear pinion depth along with backlash settings then filling the axle with lubricant and removing support to lower the vehicle.
