- Remove driveshaft at transmission drive flange
using assembly tool.

Note:
Driveshaft must always be kept in extended
position for transportation and storage.

Installing
Installation is the reverse of removal, note the
following:

Notes:

The threaded holes on the drive flange of the
transmission and the final drive should be
cleaned of all locking compound residue after
the driveshaft has been removed. Otherwise
there is a risk of seizing a bolt when tightening
and subsequently break off at the next
disassembly.
Clean by using a thread tap.
Replace seals on drive flanges. Pull off backing
foil, and attach self-adhesive side of gasket to
drive flange. Adhesive bonding surface must be
free of grease.

Notes continued:

To prevent imbalance, the flanges of the driveshaft (arrow -A-) and of
the final drive (arrow -B-) must be installed so that the factory color
markings (or the markings made during removal) are aligned. If a new driveshaft is being installed and the factory color marking on
the rear final drive flange is no longer visible, the radial deviation at
the flange for the driveshaft must be measured Page 39
-77
and the
color marking on the driveshaft must be aligned with the color marking
on the flange.
After removing the driveshaft from the final drive, additional balance
disc (thicker washer) which may have been installed between base
plate and bolt head may not be re-installed. Always replace self-locking driveshaft bolts.
- After installing, adjust driveshaft Page 39
