To adjust the pinion gear, begin by using a 12-millimeter wrench on the pinion gear and a 10-millimeter wrench to loosen the lock nut. Remember that the shaft is left-handed threaded. While holding the rubber roller still, use the drive wheel to back off the pinion gear from the threads. Remove the pinion gear and ensure that nothing is bent and everything spins true. Clean off any grease from the gears before reinstalling the pinion gear. Be aware that the shaft may have Loctite on it from the factory, so cleaning it up can make the process easier. When reinstalling the pinion gear, use the drive wheel to locate it in place and adjust it until you feel a slight tick between the gears, indicating the perfect mesh. Reinstall the lock nut and tighten it securely using the wrenches, then double-check the lash to ensure there is slight movement.
