8. Use Tooling (F) to check the crankshaft total float travel measurement. Refer to Table 6 for the crankshaft total float travel measurement. Move the crankshaft back half the distance of the crankshaft total float travel measurement, this is to center the crankshaft.

   Note: If the crankshaft total float travel measurement is out of tolerance, refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Crankshaft (Pump) - Remove and Install" for crankshaft total float travel measurement procedure.

9. Use Tooling (G) to center the pinion shaft. Measure the distance from the face of the pinion gear to the face of the crankshaft gear. Repeat for the opposite side and record measurement. The measure from side to side should be equal.

10. Use Tooling (H) to preload the pinion teeth and gear teeth on both sides simultaneously. Use the thickest possible feeler gauge when preloading. The same size feeler gauge must be used on both sides.

11. Use a 0.038 mm (0.0015 inch) gauge to confirm both sides are loaded. When proper load is present, the 0.038 mm (0.0015 inch) feeler gauge should NOT fit between the pinion teeth and gear teeth.

12. After confirming load is present on the Drive side and off put side, use Tooling (H) to measure the offset in the drive side keyway. The offset will indicate what offset key to install in keyway.

13. Apply Tooling (D) to key (14) . Install key (14) half way.

14. Remove Tooling (H) from the pinion and gear teeth. Check for load on both sides simultaneously.

15. Once load is present on both sides, Apply Tooling (E) to bolts (15) and torque to 1383 N·m (1020 lb ft).

16. Fully install key (14) . If using an offset key, the key will protrude the key way approximately half inch when fully installed. Apply Tooling (E) to the threads of set screw (13) . Install set screw (13) . Tighten set screw to a torque of 61 N·m (45 lb ft).
