DRIVE SHAFT / PROPELLER SHAFT: PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY: REASSEMBLY

1. INSTALL REAR PROPELLER SHAFT UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY






(a) Apply MP grease to a new spider and new bearings.






(b) Fit the spider into the flange yoke.
(c) Using SST, install the bearings on the spider.
SST: 09332-25010






(d) Using SST, adjust both bearings so that the snap ring grooves are at maximum and equal in width.
SST: 09332-25010
(e) Install 2 new snap rings of equal thickness which will allow 0 mm (0 in.) of axial play.
HINT:
Do not reuse the snap rings.

Standard Snap Ring Thickness:










(f) Using a hammer, tap the yoke until there is no clearance between the bearing outer race and snap ring.






(g) Align the matchmarks on the propeller shaft and flange yoke or flange yoke and sleeve yoke.
(h) Install the flange yoke to the sleeve yoke or propeller shaft.
HINT:
Install 2 new spider bearings and snap rings on the flange yoke side using the procedure described above.

2. INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT GREASE FITTING DIRECTION
HINT:
When replacing a spider bearing, be sure that the grease fitting hole is facing the direction shown in the illustration.
