Inspection on Drive Shaft Parts
1. Cross shaft bearing inspection
Check the wear or damage situation of the cross shaft bearing
and change the weary or damaged bearing where necessary.
2. Check the wear and damage situation of the central
bearing.
Check the bearing to see whether it can run freely.
In case that the bearing is damaged or wearied or cannot run
freely, change it in time.

If the drive shaft is not lubricated completely, add the Lithium
base lubricant grease with SST.
Cross bearing change
1. Label the shaft and universal joint yoke with assembly
marks.
2. Take apart the snapping ring.
(a) Tap in the outer bearing race lightly.
(b) Take apart the four snapping rings in the grooves with
two screwdrivers.
3. Take apart the cross shaft bearing
(a) Pull out the bearing from the drive shaft with SST tools.
Remarks: Pull up the part A in the drawing to a enough height
so that it cannot contact the bearing.

(c) Mount the two outer bearing races that are taken apart on
the cross shaft.
(d) Pull out the bearing on the universal joint yoke with SST
tool, and (b) Grip the outer bearing race with a vice to tap out the drive
shaft lightly with a hammer.
Remarks: Take apart another bearing with the same approach.
4. Cross shaft bearing mount
(a) Coat the lithium base grease on the cross shaft and the
bearing.
Remarks: do not over coat the lubricant.
(b) Align the assembly marks on the universal yoke and on
the shaft. (e) Grip the outer bearing race in the vice and tap lightly out
the universal joint yoke with a hammer.
Remarks: the bearing at the other end may be taken apart with
the same approach.

5. Snapping ring mount
(a) Mount two snapping rings with the same thickness.
Remarks: Do not use the used snapping ring.
(b) Tap the universal joint yoke lightly with a hammer until
there is no clearance between the outer bearing race and
the snapping ring.
6. Cross shaft bearing inspection
Check the cross shaft bearing to see whether it can run freely
Remarks: the approach for mounting the cross shaft bearing at
the bearing end is the same.
(c) Encase the new cross shaft in the universal joint yoke.
(d) Mount the new bearing on the cross shaft with SST tool,
andSST
(e) Adjust the two bearings with SST tool so that the widths
of two snapping ring grooves are equal and maximum.

Drive shaft assembly
1. Mount the center support bearing on the front joint of rear
axle drive shaft.
Remarks: The notch of the center support bearing shall face
backward when mounting it.
2. Mount the flange joint on the front joint of rear axle drive
shaft.
(a) Coat the spline of front joint of rear axle drive shaft with
lithium base grease.
(b)
