Kraton 16T pinion

[arkansasturbo]

I can get the pinion on the motor, but I cannot get it through the mesh adjustment slotted hole so that I can set it in the car. Any tips?

Apply heat and use a quality 2.5mm hex driver, I put the bottom of the chassis directly on a table for maximum torque transfer. Variation in tires/suspension when unloading and loading that clamp will most certainly end up in a stripped hex. If you already stripped it, tap in a 7/64" hex or dremel a slot for flathead screwdriver. Again, the factory uses threadlock so heat is your friend.

The slotted holes for adjusting the mesh of the pinion and spur.

Already had it out, the question was how to get it back in. I wasn't thinking straight, I got the car up and running now. Thanks though!
