v11brad Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Can someone tell me how to adjust the pinion gear retaining nut in the bevel drive? also do I need special MG tools? And how much torque should be applied? Guzziolgy explains titening may be enough to bring end play back into tolearance. I don't see the special holding tool listed online.

luhbo Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 ... Guzziolgy explains titening may be enough to bring end play back into tolearance... This does not apply to the newer end drives. If there's too much radial play at the shaft tip you need to replace at least the small needle bearing that supports the front end of the input shaft. Paul once made a write up here, with pics even.
