Abstract
A hollow pinion gear is used in combination with a through shaft to provide coaxial power transfer from one location in a driveline to another location in the driveline. The pinion gear includes a shaft portion with a longitudinally extending bore that receives the through shaft and includes an integrally formed pinion gear head at one end of the shaft portion. A bearing member is installed within the bore between the through shaft and the pinion shaft portion. The bearing member permits relative rotation between the pinion gear and the through shaft.
