If you hold the pinion from turning & have play up & down it is a worn pinion brg. It can be replaced by pulling the 5 bolts in the flange & pulling the assembly out the front. It has a massive brg. that is double row ball brgs. The replacement is a taper roller brg. assem. It is expensive. The flange uses a cork gasket that compresses according to the shims. The pinion nut takes a big socket & preferably a stout air impact. What does pinion play have to do with safety inspection?
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
