A pinion bearing is a mechanical element that constrains the movement of a pinion, a gear with a small number of teeth.
Watch this video to learn how to set Yukon Gear & Axle pinion bearing preload!

This is a great video. It shows that the preload on the pinion bearings is set WITHOUT the carrier in place. Soooo many people do it with the carrier installed. Nice work.
Great video . The exact info i was looking for.
For the life of me, I don't understand how or why, CZcamsrs keep making the same mistake with music in the background...it is NOT cool, trendy nor does it any way make the information any more enjoyable to watch. Good Lord.
They do this shit on every F'n video I come across... even overly loud on Documentaries done by "professional" TV shows.
Sounds like an old man is in the house
DEAR GOD MAKE THIS MUSIC STOP!!
"We keep it for profiling purposes."
thank you very helpful video
What does it mean to "eyether" the pinon seal seat?
I used a flimsy 1/4" drive in lb beam style to check pinion preload and after breakaway torque it would give a jerky or hopping motion as I spun the assembly. Anyone experience that before?? I would spin a tad quicker and I think it smoothed out. But it would do it every time.
Ever figure out what was the cause?
how to measure preload?
At 3:19 what is the crush sleave?
Just watch the eric the car guy video.... or get a Chilton book
Will over torqued preload give vibrations or would that be under torqued mine is fine until 50 mph then I get vibration any ideas
Overtorqued -- No. Possibly if pinion bearing preload is negative (looose). More likely to be caused by u-joint or driveshaft out of phase or balance.
Why do I have end play after snuging up the pinion nut
I get a little bit of variation as I spin the pinion/yoke with my dial torque wrench; It's between and in/lbs; Is this normal? Thanks.
The vibration I am talking about is in the measurements I get on the torque wrench
When checking pinion preload is it okay to feel some slight notchiness or catching at first?
No
You need a. Brass drift. And hammer to hit the pinion head and flange side to seat the bearings that will rid the notchy feeling when checkin preload
I have seen different videos where they do all this without the seal in there and then when they set preload correctly they remove the flange and install seal. But I though once the crush sleeve is crushed you cannot loosen it back up?
you are correct...
They just get the tension started withou the seal without crushing the sleeve to spec. This is so the pinion can stay straight enough to hopefully not damage the seal while the nut is tightened to spec during final install at which point crush sleeve will be crushed to spec and deemed not reusable.
Am I looking for the torque reading when the pinion initially breaks loose or am I looking for a sustained reading as the pinion turns?
Wacko Banana-Pants as the pinion turns while you rotate it
Sustained.
How many pinion seals do you destroy using this method of pinion assembly???
I know! Horrible.
It's Yukon. None.
If Yukon is showing how to do it, you know it's the right way.
Very basic, leaves out lots. For starters you don’t use impact guns setting preload. Seal will add extra inlb to your preload. If your gona do it do it , learn the right way.
Why don't anybody ever say what size sockets to use
Question: So the pinion bearings do not need to be pressed on? Just do it by tightening the pinion nut?
74crazydiamond yes the bigger bearing near the teeth needs to be pressed on. Also the one at the top needs to be pressed on as well but it could happen while you tighten the pinion nut.
Front pinion bearing will be pressed on as you run down on the nut. Yes. There is no other way to do it.
I like the music though
Soooo do we not put a pinion bearing on the pinion now when we fit it??!!!???
Should've rtv'd the splines and washer/nut. Also no mention of lubing lip seal/yoke. Great example kids..
I used permatex form a gasket #2 on the splines but I think a non hardening ptfe sealing compound works as well.
what to know how much to set the preload to!
Tighten the nut to 140 ft/lbs. Then check preload with an in/lb wrench. Preload should be between 16-29 in/lbs. I shoot for 24.
"How to do every step wrong".
You speak of a crush collar but you never showed one 🤣
My piñion wont tighten anymore an i still have play!?wat do i do!??
you need a gym membership
Your crush sleeve is not crushed. No freaking way you're crushing the crush sleeve with an impact like in the video. It takes about 300 ft lbs to crush the sleeve. I royal PITA with a rear in in the car.
Or two really long pipes against each other on the nut
@@blazeracer1 my impact did. It's rated at like 900 ft lbs forward torque although I doubt it puts out near that. It was a fight though.
@@blazeracer1 300lbs is absolutely correct!
I see you use an impact gun instead of a torque wrench to crush the sleeve and get the proper preload. I thought you needed to torque the pinion nut to at least 150ft. lb.
Actually I saw a teacher do it at 300lb to crush the sleave. I used a vise to break the crush sleave and its's easier to get the right lb torque but do not over tighten or , sleave needs replaced.
I mean press to break the crush sleave in. then torque.
Using an IMPACT GUN? ARE YOU CRAZY?
The driveline guy I worked with at the Chevy dealer tightened everyone he did with an impact, and he did a bunch of them every week.
@@motorvaderlapstrake7238 yeah and the bearings probably barely outlived the warranty
If the YUKON GEAR & AXEL pinion seal requires silicon for install, why is it that they provide tread lock and the gear pattern paint with brush only, and not the silicon as part of their master kits???😂
you must check the bearing race to see if it is flat against the housing by using a .001 feeler gauge... come on start checking your work...
Shouldn't there be no space between the 2?
@@Ashroyer86 That's the Point
now wait a minute, I watched another video and the installer practically busted his torque wrench and breaker bar to get the correct preload and your telling me with an impact I can get close to preload?
Impact guns have alot of torque they are decieving an Ingersoll Rand tu 2235 can probably twist your arm off
Skipped over some important details
This video would of been 1000% better if you take out that stupid music.
Doesn't explain shimming. This is only half the job
what about the depth!!!! you didn't mention the numbers engraved on the end of the pinion gear!!!!!!people your nuts and lazy if you do it this way!
