PROPELLER SHAFT

Move one end of the cross to cause a trunnion to

project through the cross hole beyond the outer

machined face of the yoke lug. Place a bearing

assembly over the trunnion diameter and align it to

the cross hole. Using an arbor press, hold the trunnion

in alignment with the cross hole and place a solid

plug on the upper bearing assembly.

Press the bearing assembly into the cross hole enough

to install a snap ring.

Caution :

Be sure that snap rings are properly

seated in grooves.

Repeat the above steps at the opposite end of the

drive shaft in installing a second kit.

If removed earlier, the unitized seal should be replaced

with a new unit.

Install a new seal by generously lubricating the seal

lip and press it over slip yoke using a small arbor

press.
