seal preload. Turn the torque wrenc
h smoothly for several rotations and
record the amount of preload as the a ssembly is turning, not the initial
force required to start the assembly moving.
Preload is measured as the amount of torque required to turn the assembly.
5. Using a suitable tool to hold the pi nion yoke in place, remove the pinion
yoke nut and washer.
6. Place a suitable contai ner under the differential to catch any fluid that
may drain from the rear axle. Using a suitable tool, remove the pinion
flange.
7. Use a suitable tool to remove the pinion seal.
To install: 8. Inspect the seal surface of the pinion flange for tool marks, nicks or
damage and replace, as necessary. Examine the carrier bore and
remove any burrs that might cause leaks around the outside of the seal.
9. Install the seal 0.010 in. (0.2 5mm) below the flange surface using a
suitable seal installer.
10. Apply suitable seal lubricant to t he outer diameter of the pinion flange
and the sealing lip of the new seal.
11. Install the pinion flan ge on the drive pinion by taping with a soft hammer
until a few pinion threads projec t through the pinion flange.
12. Install the washer and pinion fla nge nut. While holding the pinion flange,
tighten the nut a little at a time and turn the drive pinion several
revolutions after each tightening, to set the bearing rollers. Check the
preload each time with a suitable inch pound to rque wrench until the
preload is 5 inch lbs. (0.6 Nm) more then the reading obtained during
disassembly.

INJECTOR REPLACEMENT
Use care in removing injectors to prev
ent damage to the electrical connector
pins on top of the injector, the fuel injector fuel filter and nozzle. The fuel injector
is serviced as a complete assembly on ly and should never be immersed in any
type of cleaner.
SINGLE INJECTOR UNITS 1. Relieve the fuel system pressure.
2. Remove the air cleaner.
3. Detach the injector connector by squeezing the two tabs together and
pulling straight up.
4. Remove the screws securing the fuel meter cover. Note the location of
any short screws for correct placement during reassembly.
CAUTION - DO NOT remove the four screws se curing the pressure regulator to
the fuel meter cover. The fuel pressure regulator includes a large spring under
heavy tension which could cause personal injury if released.
5. With the old fuel meter gasket in place to prevent damage to the casting,
use a prytool and fulcrum to pry the inje ctor carefully until it is free from
the fuel meter body.
6. Remove the injector.
7. Remove the large O-ring and steel back-up washer at the top of the
injector cavity in the fuel meter body.
8. Remove the small O-ring located at the bottom of the injector cavity.
To Install: 9. Lubricate the new, small O-ring with automatic transmission fluid; then,
push the new O-ring on the nozzle end of the injector up against the
injector fuel filter.
10. Install the steel backup washer in the recess of the fuel meter body.
Lubricate the new large O-ring with automatic transmission fluid, then
install the O-ring directly above t he backup washer, pressing the O-ring
down into the cavity recess. The O-ri ng is properly installed when it is
flush with the casting surface.
WARNING - Do not attempt to reverse this procedure and install the backup
washer and O-ring after the injector is located in the cavity. To do so will
prevent proper seating of the O-ring in th e cavity recess which could result in a
fuel leak and possible fire.
11. Install the injector by using a pushing/twisting mo tion to center the nozzle
O-ring in the bottom of the injector cavity and aligning the raised lug on
the injector base with the notch cast into the fuel meter body. Push down
on the injector making sure it is fully seated in the cavity. Injector
installation is correct when the lug is seated in the notch and the
electrical terminals are parallel to the throttle shaft.
