Install in reverse order. Put some light grease on the seal surface and the splines.

There's a smash ring in there that sets your play. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | TXredtruck you may want to look at it in the shop manual. The online manual may do the trick for you. A big Thanks to Keith Hardy for putting these on line. http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/The torque specs should be in there to avoid what avette4me mentioned in his post. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 | Get a good impact gun to take the pinion nut off. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 9,671 | Yep Don, I've found that the only thing that will take them off if they've never been off is my 3/4" drive Earthquake impact.
And since ya mentioned Keith Hardy Alvin, might not hurt to bring up what ya did in the Greasy Spoon. And that is, that this might be a good time to put a little something in TOCMP Christmas stocking and lets not forget our hosts here at the Stovebolt. We've been using these resources all year long so lets all get in the Christmas spirit and play Santa Clause.
Merry Christmas to all you ‘Bolters,

THE ONLINE CHEVY MANUAL PROJECT.. where our friend Keith Hardy has so dilligently put these manuals on line. A major undertaking and a job he has done very well...so from me Keith, thanks and something will be in your stocking along with the Stovebolt.
