GMC Sonoma Pinion Bearing Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to replace the drive pinion bearings on GMC Sonoma?
A: First raise the vehicle before removing the tire units along with the wheels and calipers and rotors need to be removed. Take out the drive pinion from the axle after removing the Differential assembly together with Axle Shafts. When working with 7.6 inch axles the split plate bearing puller (J22912-01) will help press the bearing off the pinion. Because of their different axle lengths, Pinion Bearing remover (J45871) needs to be placed around the Pinion Bearing while split plate bearing puller (J22912-01) must be positioned upside down around the Pinion Bearing remover before you press off the bearing combination of both tools. Apply a hammer and brass drift to remove the shim and the outer and inner Pinion Bearing cups from the axle housing. When installing the outer Pinion Bearing cup on 7.6 inch axles use the outer bearing race installer (J7817) combined with the driver handle (J8092). The rear Pinion Bearing race installer (J8611-01) works with the same driver handle for installing the outer cup on all 8.6 inch axles. Insert the inner Pinion Bearing cup through the use of the rear Pinion Bearing cup installer (J29609) for 7.6 inch axles or the Pinion Bearing cup installer (J45870) for 8.6 inch axles along with the driver handle (J8092). Install the pinion shim between the inner Pinion Bearing and the gear shoulder while using the determined selective thickness. The rear Pinion Bearing race installer (J5590) suffices for 7.6 inch axles whereas the pinion cone and side bearing installer (J24433) serves 8.6 inch axles to press the inner Pinion Bearing until the cone securely seats on the pinion shim. The pinion needs a new collapsible spacer and suitable axle lubrication before the pinion housing receives it. You should begin by adding the outer Pinion Bearing together with the new pinion oil seal and the pinion flange/yoke. Complete the rebuild by adding the Differential parts, brake components, assembling wheels with tires, followed by lubricant addition before performing the vehicle drop.
