new bearings, re-install the J 8614-01 and continue to tighten the pinion nut. See Special Tools and 
Equipment .

rotate the pinion is 1.1-2.3 N.m (10-20 lb in) for used bearings, or 1.7-3.4 N.m (15-30 lb in) for new 
bearings. 

20. Once the specified torque is obtained, rotate the pinion several times to ensure the bearings have seated. 

Recheck the rotating torque and adjust if necessary. 

21. Remove the J 8614-01 . See Special Tools and Equipment .
