Propeller Shaft Heat Shield Installation Note
Caution
•When assembling the propeller shaft heat shield to the bearing support, narrowing the bolt hole
inner diameter can lower serviceability. Align the bolt hole edge of the propeller shaft heat shield
with the bolt hole inner side of the bearing support to assemble.
1. Set the propeller shaft heat shield to the bearing
support.
