GMC Savana 3500 Pinion Bearing Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to replace the drive pinion bearings on an 8.6-inch axle on GMC Savana 3500?
A: Vehicle lifting begins the process of drive Pinion Bearing replacement on an 8.6-inch axle followed by Differential assembly removal then drive pinion extraction from the axle. The split-plate bearing puller (J 22912-B) generates sufficient pressure to remove drive pinion bearings and has a step to take the selective pinion shim. The extraction of both outer and inner Pinion Bearing cups from the axle housing should be done through proper use of a hammer and brass drift for even removal. Install the outer Pinion Bearing cup through the combination of rear Pinion Bearing race installer (J 8611-01) and universal driver handle (J 8092) while the inner Pinion Bearing cup requires application of Pinion Bearing cup installer (J 45870) joined with universal driver handle (J 8092). Install the inner Pinion Bearing with the pinion cone and side bearing installer (J 24433) to press until the cone seats on the pinion shim while the selective shim thickness lies between the inner Pinion Bearing and the gear shoulder. Put in a new collapsible spacer after applying the proper axle lubricant to the pinion bearings. Place the outer Pinion Bearing inside the axle housing. The extension housing oil pump/seal installer (J 38694) must be used to position a brand new pinion oil seal after which you should insert the pinion into the axle housing while applying sealant (GM P/N 12346004 or Canadian P/N 10953480) to the splines of the pinion yoke before aligning it according to the removal marks. Apply light taps on the pinion yoke with a soft-faced hammer to mount it onto the pinion shaft until a few threads emerge before installing a new pinion nut which must not use the old one. The flange and pulley holding tool (J 8614-01) needs to be installed onto the pinion yoke while the technician tightens the pinion nut under tool restraint to achieve proper pinion end play. The pinion receiving torque ought to be measured with an inch-pound torque wrench set to 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. Adjust the pinion nut until these torque values are met. Winding the pinion several times post-torque solution allows the bearings to settle properly before repeating the torque measurement for needed adjustments. Reinstall the Differential assembly after you add the appropriate axle lubricant which will be followed by lowering the vehicle.
