6. Rotate propeller shaft 90 degrees and place Inclinometer on companion flange yoke bearing parallel to the shaft (Fig. 6). Center bubble in sight
glass and record measurement.
This measurement will give you the pinion Companion Flange Input Angle (B).
7. Subtract smaller figure from larger (C minus A) to obtain Transmission/Transfer Case Output Operating Angle.
