What tools are required to replace the drive pinion bearings on a 10.5-inch axle on 2008 GMC Yukon?

Question

Accepted Answer

The tool requirements for drive pinion bearings replacement on a 10.5-inch axle include j 22761 (Differential Side Bearing Installer), j 8614-01 (Flange and Pulley Holding Tool), j 37624 (Pinion Bearing Installer), j 24433 (Pinion Cone and Side Bearing Installer), j 22912-b (Split Plate Bearing Puller), j 44414 (Rear Axle Pinion Oil Seal Installer), j 8608 (Rear Pinion Bearing Installer), and j 8092 (Universal Driver Handle - 3/4 in - 10). The work starts by stretching the vehicle upward and unfastening the Differential assembly. First remove the pinion gear bearing retainer before you take out the pinion yoke and oil seal then extract the outer Pinion Bearing and pinion and collapsible spacer. The j 22912-b hydraulic press together with the j 22912-b will extract the inner Pinion Bearing from the pinion through its slots by inserting a brass drift for equal bearing cup release. To remove and replace the pinion gear pilot bearing use hammer and brass drifts with a similar process applied to both outer and inner Pinion Bearing cups. Begin Pinion Bearing installation with the j 22761 to place the pinion gear pilot bearing before applying the j 37624 with j 8092 for the inner Pinion Bearing cup and utilizing j 8608 with j 8092 for the outer Pinion Bearing cup. Start by pressing the bearing on until the cone seats on the pinion then employ the j 24433 along with a hydraulic press to install the inner Pinion Bearing which must be followed by adding the new collapsible spacer and lubricating all pinion bearings. The installation of the outer Pinion Bearing into the retainer begins before using the j 44414 to position the new pinion oil seal. First reposition the pinion inside the bearing retainer before you apply sealant to the splines of the pinion yoke and restore marks from the removal process before installing the pinion yoke. Use a soft-faced hammer to strike the yoke until several threads emerge before you install the washer together with the new pinion nut. Tighten the pinion yoke under j 8614-01 while rotating the pinion between rotations until the end play disappears fully. Replace the j 8614-01 tool with either the original bearing shim or a 0.41 mm shim in case the original shim is not accessible. Fasten the pinion gear bearing retainer onto the axle housing and proceed to tighten its retainer bolts to 88 n.m (65 lb ft). The rotating torque measurement of the pinion should fall within acceptable values for new or used bearings; adjust accordingly if needed. After completing the above steps the service professional should reinstall the Differential assembly and determine the necessary selective shim thickness for the drive pinion and also perform backlash adjustment before filling the axle with lubricant and lowering the vehicle back down.
