Notes continued:
To prevent imbalance, the flanges of the driveshaft (arrow -A-) and of
the final drive (arrow -B-) must be installed so that the factory color
markings (or the markings made during removal) are aligned. If a new driveshaft is being installed and the factory color marking on
the rear final drive flange is no longer visible, the radial deviation at
the flange for the driveshaft must be measured Page 39
-77
and the
color marking on the driveshaft must be aligned with the color marking
on the flange.
After removing the driveshaft from the final drive, additional balance
disc (thicker washer) which may have been installed between base
plate and bolt head may not be re-installed. Always replace self-locking driveshaft bolts.
- After installing, adjust driveshaft Page 39
