Drive/Propeller Shaft: Removal and Replacement
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
WARNING: Since the rear propeller shaft is made of CFRP, it is important to observe the following warning items strictly.
^
If a tear, chip or distortion is found on the tube, replace it with new one.
^
Do not drop, shock, or scratch the tube.
^
If the propeller shaft is scratched on the surface, inspect whether it is damaged or not using a dye penetrant.
^
If the propeller shaft is dropped on the ground, replace it with new one. If the dropped rear propeller shaft is reinstalled, the rear
propeller shaft may be broken.
^
When working with the propeller shaft, wrap the propeller shaft tube with the rubber sheet of 10 mm (0.39 inch) thick and over or with
the propeller shaft protector (part number MR534564) so that it is not scratched.
