Important: Do not separate the input shaft, propeller shaft, couplings, or bearing housing assembly (unless required). These components are balanced as an assembly. Disassembly and improper reassembly of the components may cause vehicle driveline vibration.
If the input shaft, couplings, propeller shaft, or bearing housing assembly must be separated, the components must be marked prior to disassembly. During assembly, the components must be returned to their original position and location.
Important: Mark the radial relationship of the input shaft to the coupling and coupling to the propeller shaft. Mark the coupling orientation to prevent reversing. The arrow marks on the coupling refer to bolt direction but may not prevent reversing.
Important: Mark the radial relationship of the bearing housing to the coupling and the coupling to the propeller shaft. Mark the coupling orientation to prevent reversing. The arrow marks on the coupling refer to bolt direction but may not prevent reversing.
