Lt1 Count

Once the Eaton posi is back from the machine shop, Nick gives the ring-and-pinion a squirt of Brakleen to clean off the Styrofoam and contaminants before assembly. The teeth are counted to make sure the correct ratio has been sent-and that the two match-before the new bearing and race can be pressed on with 5 to 8 tons of force. Though the pinion is smaller in width than the stocker, due to its ratio, it is actually .005 inch thicker, and will need to be shimmed accordingly.
