Removal Procedure
1. 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.
Using a paint stick, mark the shaft on both sides. The splines are not keyed, therefore, alignment marks are necessary for assembly.
2. Important:
The clamp is not reusable.
Remove the clamp holding the dust boot to the shaft. Discard the clamp.
