1696925 Pinion | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo right-hand pinion used in the automatic Z-Cam drum-brake adjustment mechanism. Although supplied through the wider Volvo parts system, this is a heavy-duty brake component rather than an engine timing or starter pinion.

⚙️ Key Features

• Right-hand brake-adjuster pinion for Volvo Z-Cam drum brakes
• Forms part of Volvo automatic adjuster kit 272907
• Works with reverse lock 276098 and adjusting pin 276096
• Maintains brake-shoe running clearance as lining wear increases
• Confirmed heavy-duty Volvo, Meritor and aftermarket interchange coverage
• Also supersedes Volvo part number 272839

🔌 Function

Transfers adjustment movement through the Z-Cam brake mechanism to maintain the specified clearance between the brake shoes and drum.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Excessive brake-shoe clearance
• Uneven rear-brake adjustment
• Rounded, chipped or seized pinion teeth
• Manual adjustment repeatedly required
• Brake pull or reduced braking efficiency

🛠️ Service Notes

• Right-hand orientation only — the left-hand pinion in this range is a separate part number, so confirm which side of the adjuster you are servicing before fitting
• Renew reverse lock 276098 and adjusting pin 276096 as a set with this pinion when the adjuster kit is stripped, since they wear together
