The pinion bearings are loaded by the 1-1/4" nut on the yoke. I was under the impression that this was accomplished by a different retainer nut, but in fact the retainer nut merely holds a double-sided bearing race in place.

The pinion does not move in or out with any adjustment, but simple relies on two large thrust bearings on the pinion shaft to ensure it is properly seated. The only nut holding the entire assembly together is on the yoke, and it's torqued to 300 ft*lbs.
