To remove the Drive Shaft with Pinion Gear as a assembly:
1. Remove the Torque Tube from the Banjo.
2. Using the Drive Shaft Puller (Brattons P/N 6335) pull the Drive Shaft and Pinion Assembly from the Banjo.

The Pinion Assembly can now be removed from the Drive Shaft by removing the nut on the end of the Drive Shaft. A puller will be required to remove the Pinion Assembly from the Drive Shaft.

The Pinion Assembly will include the Pinion Bearings. They will be intact and remain adjusted if the two large Adjusting/Retaining Nuts are not loosened.
This is very helpful when installing a Mitchell OD.
