Drive/Propeller Shaft: Service and Repair
Overview
-
Observe sequence of operations at "Replacement".
WARNING!
-
Do not bend driveshaft.
-
Store and transport only with driveshaft fully extended.
-
Work on the driveshaft should be carried out only on a two-column lifting platform.
Notes:
-
Refer to "General Repair Instructions".
-
No repair work except removal, installation and adjusting operations can be performed on the driveshaft assembly.
-
Universal joints and bearings cannot be replaced with workshop tools. Front and rear sections of the driveshaft cannot be replaced separately
because they would then have to be re-balanced, and this is not possible with workshop tools and equipment.
-
For this reason, only procedures for removing, installing and adjusting the driveshaft are described here.
-
When dealing with malfunctions (noise, vibration) it is essential to check whether precisely adjusting the driveshaft will correct the problem before
replacing the driveshaft.
