Abstract
A pinion needle roller bearing post for use during pinion gear carrier assembly includes a solid cylindrical post having a longitudinal surface wall extending between a first end and a second end. At least one radially recessed channel is disposed in the longitudinal surface and extends substantially between the first end and the second end and a spring biased needle roller is disposed within the at least one radially recessed channel that operates to prevent needle roller bearing skew during pinion gear carrier assembly.
