PROCEDURE

1. REMOVE UNIVERSAL BOOT KIT

HINT:

As the rear propeller shaft assembly requires alignment of multiple matchmarks, it is necessary to make separately distinguishable matchmarks.

(1) Put matchmarks on the front propeller shaft assembly and rear propeller shaft assembly.

NOTICE:

Do not use a punch for the marks.

(2) Put a matchmark on the rear propeller shaft assembly in alignment with the crimp position of the small diameter propeller shaft boot clamp.

(3) Put a matchmark on the rear propeller shaft assembly in alignment with the crimp position of the large diameter propeller shaft boot clamp.

(1) Using a screwdriver, release the crimp of the large diameter propeller shaft boot clamp and separate the large diameter propeller shaft boot clamp from the propeller shaft boot.

(2) Using pliers, grip the crimp area of the clamp and pry the area of the small diameter propeller shaft boot clamp shown in the illustration to separate the small diameter propeller shaft boot clamp from the propeller shaft boot.

(1) Separate the propeller shaft boot from the rear propeller shaft assembly.

(2) Remove the old grease from the joint part.

(3) Using needle-nose pliers, remove the bearing case snap ring.

(4) Remove the rear propeller shaft assembly from the front propeller shaft assembly.

(5) Using a snap ring expander, remove the propeller shaft snap ring.

(6) Put matchmarks on the rear propeller shaft assembly and tripod joint.

NOTICE:

Do not use a punch for the marks.

(7) Using a brass bar and a hammer, tap out the tripod joint from the front propeller shaft assembly.

NOTICE:

• Do not tap the rollers.
• Do not drop the tripod joint.

(8) Remove the propeller shaft boot and 2 propeller shaft boot clamps.

(1) Cut off the rubber portion of the center support bearing and remove the bracket.
