(10) Reattach retainer wrench to joint flange.
(11) Screw on new collared nut and tighten care-
fully in stages until the previously value of torque to
rotate is exceeded by 0.5 N·m. (4.4 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: The total friction moment must not be
obtained by slackening the collared nut. Avoid over-
tightening the collared nut otherwise the compres-
sion ring inside will be compressed and will have to
be replaced. This requires total disassembly of the
gear set.
(12) Cut the collar of the tightened collared nut
(Fig. 30).
(13) Bend collar so it touches the wall of the slot
in the pinion shaft (Fig. 31).

(Fig. 32).
(16) Screw in oil filler plug and tighten to 100 N·m
(74 ft. lbs.).
