DRIVE SHAFT / PROPELLER SHAFT: FRONT PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY: REASSEMBLY

1. INSTALL FRONT UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER BEARING

HINT
Use the same procedure for all propeller shaft universal joint spider bearing.

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

NOTICE:
Be careful not to apply too much grease.





(b) Install the universal joint spider to the propeller shaft.

(c) Using SST, install 2 of the spider bearings to the universal joint spider.





SST : 09332-25010

(d) Using SST, adjust both bearings so that the snap ring grooves are at maximum and equal width.

SST : 09332-25010

(e) Install 4 new snap rings of equal thickness which will allow no axial play.





HINT
Do not reuse the snap rings.

Standard Snap Ring:





NOTICE:
* Use a new retainer ring.
* Use retainer rings with as close the same thickness as possible on both ends.

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

HINT
Install a new spider bearing on the sleeve side using the procedure described above.

(g) Align the matchmarks on the flange yoke and sleeve yoke.

(h) Using SST, install the spider bearings to the universal joint spider.





SST : 09332-25010

(i) Using SST, adjust both bearings so that the snap ring grooves are at maximum and equal in width.

SST : 09332-25010

(j) Install 4 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:





NOTICE:
* Use a new retainer ring.
* Use retainer rings with as close to the same thickness as possible on both ends.

(k) Using a plastic-faced hammer, tap the yoke until there is no clearance between the spider bearing outer race and snap ring.
