INSPECTION
1. Inspection of propeller shaft W/ center bearing ASSY
(1) Set the dial gauge with its gauge head at the center of the propeller shaft W/ center bearing ASSY.
(2) Turn the propeller shaft W/ center bearing ASSY slowly by hand to check for runout.
Limit
: 0.6mm {0.0236in}
CAUTION:
Attach the dial gauge at a right angle to the center of the propeller shaft W/ center bearing ASSY.
2. Inspection of universal joint spider ASSY
3. Inspection of center bearing ASSY
(1) Check there is no play and drag by rotating the bearing.
(2) Check the rubber part for damage or cracks and the spring for dislocation.
(3) Check the bracket part of the center bearing for cracks or deformation.
