Removal Procedure
1. Using a paint stick, mark the shaft on both sides. The splines are not keyed, therefore, alignment marks are necessary for assembly.
Notice: Never clamp propeller shaft tubing in a vise. Clamping propeller shaft tubing in a vise could dent or deform the tube causing an
imbalance or unsafe condition.
Always clamp on one of the yokes and support the shaft horizontally.
Important: Proper alignment on assembly is critical in order to maintain correct balance.
2. Remove the clamp holding the dust boot to the shaft. Discard the clamp.
Important: The clamp is not reusable.
