ing remover (Fig. 22). Position the unit in a press and
carefully push the drive pinion out of the bearing.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT allow the pinion to drop on
the floor - damage will result.
16.To remove the outer pinion bearing cup, position the
housing in a press. Place a press plate of the proper size
against the cup. Press the cup out of the housing
(Fig. 23).
17.Position the front housing on a press bed with the
bearing saddles resting on the press bed. Protect the
bearing saddles with a strip of wood if the press bed is
rough.
Insert a press plate of the proper size and press the
bearing cup toward the inside of the housing. Retain the
shims located under the bearing cup (Fig. 24). If the
shims are damaged, replace with new shims of the
same thickness.
