PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY(for TSAM Made) INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT AND INTERMEDIATE SHAFT

    B003N4X

    1. Using a dial indicator, measure the propeller shaft and intermediate shaft runout.

      Maximum Runout
      Item Specified Condition
      Propeller shaft 0.8 mm (0.0314 in.)
      Intermediate shaft 0.8 mm (0.0314 in.)

      If the shaft runout is more than the maximum, replace the shaft.

  2. INSPECT SPIDER BEARING


    1. Clamp the propeller shaft in a vise between aluminum plates.

      Note

      Do not overtighten the vise.

    2. Check the spider bearings for wear or damage.

    3. B003MO9

      Check the axial play of each spider bearing by turning the yoke while holding the shaft tightly.

      Maximum bearing axial play
      0.05 mm (0.00196 in.)

      If the bearing axial play is more than the maximum, replace the spider bearing.

  3. INSPECT CENTER NO. 1 SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY

    B003PN8

    1. While turning the center bearing by hand, check that it turns smoothly without catching and that there are no cracks or damage.
