What tools are required to replace the drive pinion bearings on 8.6, 9.5, and 11.5 inch axles on 2008 GMC Sierra 1500?

To replace the drive pinion bearings on 8.6, 9.5, and 11.5 inch axles, the following tools are required: j 7818 (Inner Bearing Race Installer), j 8092 (Universal Driver Handle - 3/4 in - 10), j 8611-01 (Rear Pinion Bearing Race Installer), j 8614-01 (Flange and Pulley Holding Tool), j 22306 (Pinion Cup Bearing Installer - Rear), j 22912-b (Split Plate Bearing Puller), j 22828 (Input/Counterbalance Race Installer), dt-47688 (Pinion Bearing Remover, 8.6 Inch Axle Installer), j 36614 (Inner Pinion Bearing Installer), and j 45870 (Pinion Bearing Cup Installer). You should begin this process by elevating the vehicle before taking off its Differential assembly. Extract both the drive pinion from the axle by applying the dt-47688 with press equipment to pull the bearing out. You need to use a hammer and brass drift to eliminate the shim and inner and outer Pinion Bearing cups from the axle housing. The installation needs the j 8611-01 or j 7818 for the outer Pinion Bearing cup together with the j 45870 or j 22306 for the inner Pinion Bearing cup and the j 8092. Use the dt-47688 with a press to extract the bearing from the drive pinion. Add the determined selective shim thickness between the shoulder of the gear and the inner Pinion Bearing. The installation process requires the j 24433 or j 36614 to fit the inner Pinion Bearing by allowing it to position correctly on the pinion shim. You should install a new collapsible spacer after lubricating the pinion bearings before putting the outer Pinion Bearing inside the axle housing. The procedure requires you to apply sealant to pinion yoke splines after using the j 22388 to install a new pinion oil seal followed by pinion axle housing installation. Reestablish networking marks for alignment before using the j 24433 to install the inner Pinion Bearing between the pinion shoulder and its specified shim. Use a soft-faced hammer to fit the pinion yoke onto its shaft before adding a new washer and pinion nut. A technician should apply torque to the pinion nut through the j 8614-01 while maintaining the pinion yoke static to consume all end play in the pinion. While torquing the assembly, the technician needs to spin the pinion to seat the bearings. Use the j 8614-01 tool to check the rotating torque of the pinion and verify that it meets the defined used or new bearing specifications or adjust until it does. After substituting the Differential assembly, add lubricant then fully lower the vehicle down.
