Correcting center inclination angle at propeller shaft intermediate bearing - AR41.10-P-0086-04CW

Number	Designation	MODEL 204
BA41.40-P-1001-01F	Bolt, propeller shaft center support bearing to frame floor assembly self tapping screw	20 Nm

Correct inclination angle at the center (2) 

To correct the inclination angle, install shop-made shims at the propeller shaft intermediate bearing. A 1 mm thick shim changes the inclination angle by approx. 0.17°. When using shims > 2 mm thick, increase the bolt length by 5 mm. If a shim > 5 mm thick is required, check the front engine mount and rear engine mount for signs of settling or wear and replace if necessary.

Detach underfloor paneling on left and right in area of heat shields.
