Removing and installing thrust tube
Installing
Install in reverse order, paying attention to the following:
Notes:
-
◆ After taking out propshaft, always remove residual locking fluid from tapped holes in flange shafts of gearbox and rear final drive. Otherwise there would be a danger of the new bolts seizing when screwed in and shearing off on renewed disassembly.
-
◆ Cleaning can be performed using a thread tap.
-
◆ Replace seal between propshaft and input flange (remove backing and bond seal to flange shaft). Bonding surface must be free from grease.
-
◆ Replace propshaft bolts (self-locking).
-
‒ If there is a factory mark on propshaft, establish radial run-out at flange/propshaft and align coloured mark at propshaft with new mark at flange.
-
‒ Perform stress-free alignment of exhaust system.
