Removal and Installation: Installation
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
After the installation, remove the propeller shaft protector from the propeller shaft.
- When installing propeller shaft, attach propeller shaft protector to propeller shaft.
- Aligning the matching of propeller shaft (A) companion flange with that of final drive companion flange (B).
- If propeller shaft assembly or final drive assembly has been replaced, connect them as follows:
- Face the companion flange mark (A) of the final drive (1) upward. With the mark (A) faced upward, couple the propeller shaft and the final drive so that the matching mark (B) of propeller shaft (2) can be positioned as closest as possible with the matching mark (C) of the final drive companion flange.
- Tighten mounting bolts and nuts of propeller shaft and final drive to the specified torque.
- After assembly, perform a driving test to check propeller shaft vibration. If vibration occurred, separate propeller shaft from final drive. Reinstall companion flange after rotating it by 90, 180, 270 degrees. Then perform driving test and check propeller shaft vibration again at each point.
