Usage:
Typical Example
1. Remove the front and rear drive shaft guards.
2. Loosen nut (3).
3. The weight of the drive shaft is 100 kg (220 lb). Fasten a hoist to the front section and the rear section of the drive shaft.
4. Remove bolts (1), (2) and spider (4) from the front and rear of the drive shaft. Move the drive shaft to the rear of the machine, and lower the front of it.
5. Remove nut (3) from the front section of the drive shaft. Remove the front section of the drive shaft from the machine.
6. Remove the rear section of the drive shaft from the machine. Remove washers (6), seal (7) and nut (3) from the rear section of the drive shaft.
NOTE: The following steps are for the installation of the drive shaft.
7. Put the rear section of the drive shaft into position in the machine. Install nut (3), washer (6) and seal (7) on the rear section of the drive shaft.
8. Put clean 5P0960 Multipurpose Grease on the spline teeth. Align the missing spline teeth with pin (5), and slide the two sections of the drive shaft together. Tighten nut (3) to hold the two sections together.

Replace bolts (1) and (2) with new bolts anytime they are removed. |
9. Inspect the universal joints and the mating yokes for damage to the key, keyway, threaded holes, and pilot diameters.
a. If damage is present, replace accordingly.
10. Clean the mating surface of the yoke assembly, including threaded holes, and the universal joint assembly so that the yoke assembly and universal joint assembly are free of wax, dirt, debris, paint, and grease.
11. Clean the mating surface of the slip joint so that the slip joint is free of wax, dirt, debris, paint, and grease. Repeat for the opposite side.
12. Make sure that the torque converter and transmission yokes are aligned and in phase.
13. Ensure that the universal joints are fully seated prior to tightening the bolts. There are 2 methods:
a. Use a suitable rubber or wood hammer to seat the universal joints in the yoke.
b. Use designated run-down bolts to completely seat the universal joints in the yoke.
i. Torque the run-down bolts in a sequential alternating "X" pattern.
ii. Remove the run-down bolts and replace with new 2N-2486 bolts.
14. Make sure all surfaces and bolts are clean and free of grease and paint. Put front and rear spiders (4) in position on the yokes, and install new bolts (1) to hold them. Tighten bolts (1) to a torque of 550 ± 20 N·m (410 ± 15 lb ft)
15. Make sure all surfaces and bolts are clean and free of grease and paint. Put the drive shaft into position on the spiders, and install new bolts (2) to hold them. Tighten bolts (2) to a torque of 550 ± 20 N·m (410 ± 15 lb ft)
16. Perform a static bolt check (550 ± 20 N·m (406 ± 14 lb ft)) 250 hours after the driveshaft has been installed on the machine.
17. Install the front and rear guards over the drive shaft.
