INSTALL UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY
Apply MP grease to a new spider and bearings.
Fit the universal joint spider into the flange yoke.
Using SST, install the spider bearings on the spider.
Using SST, adjust both spider bearings so that the snap ring grooves are at the maximum and equal in width.
Install 2 new snap rings with the same thickness which allow 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) or less axial play.
Note
Do not reuse the snap rings.

Using a hammer, tap the flange yoke until there is no clearance between the spider bearing outer race and snap ring.
Note
Do not damage the flange yoke.
Align the matchmarks on the propeller shaft and flange yoke.

INSPECT UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY
Check that the spider bearing rotates smoothly.
Check that there is no play in the spider bearing.
Using a spring tension gauge, hang the hook of the spring tension gauge in a bolt hole of the flange yoke and measure the rotating force.
| Standard |
|---|
| 1.1 N*m (11.2 kgf*cm, 9.7 in.*lbf) or less |
Note
Measurement of rotating force should be done at 2 positions for each universal joint by 90° in opposite directions (flange yoke side and end yoke side).
When it exceeds the standard, use a thinner snap ring.
