    IMPORTANT: The internal components of the torque tube assembly cannot be serviced separately. If corrosion exists that cannot be polished off, or there is excessive scoring or wear, the torque tube must be replaced as a complete assembly.
  3. Inspect the sealing surface (1) of the propeller shaft contained inside the torque tube. Polish corrosion off with a crocus cloth.
